I have to admit, I was nervous and intimidated about the
idea of presenting a social media webinar for my class. In fact, I was dreading it.
I don’t usually mind conducting presentations, however, my lack of knowledge on Adobe Connect concerned me. I was worried that I would not be able to learn the
software in time to present my topic. My biggest fear was the possibility of facing technical difficulties. For those who know me well, I don’t work well under pressure, especially when
in front of an audience (regardless of being virtual!).
The beauty of owning two computers (desktop & laptop)
was that I was able to conduct trial runs on my presentation and view what my
class could see. I was also able to work out the kinks, upload documents for
my presentation, and test out features prior to presenting. I even
had friends log on as participants so I could practice and gather their feedback.
Conducting the trial runs was significantly helpful because it helped me feel more confident and prepared for my presentation. I didn’t realize how
easy it was to use Adobe Connect with others all over the world. This is
definitely a useful tool for professionals and online courses. I am actually
surprised that it is only now that I am finding out about this web conferencing
software.
