I created a ted talk for Language Arts. My Ted like talk was about Bernedoodles (a dog breed). I chose that topic because I love dogs, and I have a Bernedoodle. The talk had to be about 5 minutes long. I also got inspiration from watching other people’s talks and greeting feedback from peers, parents, and teachers. Some tips I used while I was making my ted talk were,
- If you have multiple photos, use a black background
- Most photos should be “full bleed” or cover the entire screen
- Use 24 point or larger font size
- Think simplicity and contrast
- Don’t put everything you are going to say on a slide
- Give image credits
- Rarely show video clips longer than 30 seconds
- Use two transitions: none or dissolve (less than half a second)
- Save your work!
I really enjoyed this project because even though I knew a lot about Bernedoodles already, I learned a lot more. I also learned many tips about public speaking.
