I have just finished a webinar session within Premier Digital’s webinar series
and I love to share slides, so that people can listen and not scribble (if they wish):

Tag: Presentation
I was due to undertake a number of public speaking engagements whilst in New Zealand, which Coronavirus has knocked off plan. The other week I was told about Loom (and that as an academic I have lifetime free access), so decided that I would experiment with creating one of my presentations, as I already had the slides prepared. I’ve done a lot of text, and a lot of images, but videos are fairly rare for me, so I thought I’d experiment:
Think it comes across OK, but I’m not very patient with listening to long videos, so maybe I would break it into segments another time?
As the ceremony from Theipval, commemorating the Battle of the Somme, plays in the background, it reminded me that I’d not posted my slides from a session I presented to the Visual Culture Research Group at MMU on Wednesday afternoon, in which I gave an overview of my book proposal to convert my PhD to publication (very slow progress, yes!).
My presentation came after Jim Aulich had talked about social visual media and the persistence of images, finding comparisons between, for example, the image of Alan Kurdi, and comparisons with religious iconography. Both presentations considered why certain images have meanings, and persist.
In my presentation, it seemed particularly pertinent that this presentation came the week after #Brexit, as we discussed how Keep Calm and Carry On has in many ways detached from its original context, but that the story does affect how people engage with it, that my Google Alerts for the phrase has produced much more interesting content this week than it has for the last couple of weeks, as people once again cling onto the phrase!
This morning, a session with Pete Phillips, for the Methodist Church:
