Response to Morgans video of "How to Make a Solar Oven"

Although we did all those demonstrative speeches in class, I still think that looking at other people’s ways of explaining things is really intriguing. Although I do have to agree with Morgan in the fact that the video she posted was a little confusing. She seemed like she was messing up a lot of things she was try to get across. But the speaker was able to explain what she wanted to and on top of this, she also made the point of the creation of this “solar oven” important to those watching the video.

However, like Morgan noticed as well, there were some common problems in the speech. For one thing, there was a definite change in probs mid-speech, which made the viewing a little confusing. Also, the presenter had an issue in repeating the steps. This was definitely a problem due to the fact that this is actually a complex process that does need a lot of practice and understanding to do. I also noticed that the author also had really bad transitions in her speech. Although this is not that big of an issue in the speech itself, it does take distract us from the main purpose of the speech and make it harder to understand the point of what she is saying.

All in all, I do have to agree with Morgan that this project definitely needed some more work on it. Although there were some strong points in her overall performance, there were also an excessive amount of low points that could be altered to make the presentation run smoother. Then again, the presenter did look young, so I think she will have plenty of time to tone her skills before college comes around.

"Imagining the tenth dimensions" youtube video

So I asked my friends what was a youtube video that could “ describe a complex topic in an accessible way” and immediately got the response “DUDE, check this video out. It will blow your mind!” I do have to say, after looking at this video, it really did blow my mind. This video on the description of the 10 dimensions not only allowed me to see dimensions in an entirely new way, but also helped with my understanding of the dimensions as a whole. Just by explaining it in a slow and steady speed allowed me to stay with the creator’s logic and understand what he was trying to get at. This video also did a great explanation of how time works and how our past could be changed to create what we want. Now I am able to actually understand what the heck the professor was talking about in back to the future, which is actually a really good accomplishment since I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about in his explanations to Marty. I also like how the creator of this video used visual aids and antidotes to explain what he was talking about since his explanations of how time and space work made completely no sense to me. Although this video only explains the first 6 dimensions thoroughly (the other 4 are on another video titled “Imagining the Tenth Dimension part 2 if 2”), I did think that this aided in my understanding of the topic as a whole and thus this video was defiantly worth the 6 and a half minutes I spent watching it. So I suggest that if you want to view time and space in a completely different way, watch this video.
