Public Speaking

So I'm doing a speech for my Oral Communications (aka Public Speaking) class this upcoming week. We were given the assignment to write an informative speech based on any topic we want. What is mine on on you may ask? Well, I think I'm going to do it on blogging. The three main topics I'm going to be covering are...

1. What a blog is
2. How to start up a blog
3. The benefits and drawbacks are to having a blog

I figure all that will be easy enough to explain. However, we also need two different types of visual aids for our presentations. I figure the first one is easy enough, I can just show the class my blog. But I'm stumped when it comes to a second visual aid. Anyone have any ideas?

A chart would be an example of a visual aid, however I don't think there are any charts I could show that would be all that relevant to blogging.

  1. I hate public speaking with a passion. Unless I am friendly with the audience I get super nervous. Also, for a chart you could show the how many views your blog gets over a specific period of time.

  2. You could show your blog views. If you use adsense then you can show your earnings as an advantage of having a blog too. Or if you've ever gotten spam or hateful comments you can show those as a disadvantage. Either way, good luck with it.

  9. Maybe you can show some sort of youtube video related to blogging or something? I always enjoy watching videos during presentations, gives you some type to gather your thoughts in the meantime aswell! This is pretty good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=livzJTIWlmY

  10. You could show different types of blogs, personal and professional for example. Or your blog and an old fashioned paper journal. Your blog and a blog circle, explaining the differences.

    I love public speak. I like to be in front of a captive audience. Best of luck with it.

  16. Show them your favorite blogs and discuss the differences. Make them believe yours is the best so they will become regular visitors.

  18. Another suggestion would be to show how people arrive at your blog - what search terms they've used, etc. (If you use statcounter or sitemeter, all these info are practically at your fingertips)
