Speak slowly, enunciate clearly, pause frequently, after every sentence or two inquire of your listeners -- "Does that make sense?"...and avoid monologues on your special interest, unless that's the topic your presentation is on.

I've read books on how to do professional presentations. I've read simplify and summarise about a hundred times now. I guess it does depend on what you're getting the marks for. I guess some of them would be for "clarity of explanation".

It was really hard to explain, because I was talking about how the servers would be rendering the 1 million or so images required when an operation is made by the account owner, and then send it back to a single image. And then the actual graphics was hard to explain.


I don't know. Perhaps a diagram of flow chart would help explain it?
Perhaps a "flow" or "feedback loop" of information between the user account and the server?
What kind of images? Vector, raster, 3D?

That's an entry level mistake really. She should really have kept up to date. The tags are different even if they look superficially similar. CSS is actually jolly useful for keeping consistent heading styles throughout. I've been grappling with it myself (I'm kind of on a self training course at the moment).

When I did ICT some of the teachers forgot how to plug the computer in or switch it on, so I guess things have improved since then (!) 8O

I know this sounds like a daft question, but did you really code for that all by yourself and are you really 13?

If so wow! 8O
I've got a lot of catching up to do... 8O
They must be pushing you kids really hard these days.

Rendering a million images...that's light years from stuff I used to do.
The machines were so slow back then I doubt that they would have even rendered one image...

What web design package do you use?

I'm puzzled about that too.
(Unless she was jealous!?) 8O

Or was she just bored?
I just don't understand it. :?

I was actually the only one doing it in CSS and HTML, all the others were using a WYSIYG. I didn't actually code it, it would have taken around 7 years to code one room. We're going to be making it in GameMaker, not Java(which is what I said I'd use). I am 13.
She might have been bored, but I'm not sure.
And the whole presentation was very conceptual, under the assumption it'd be 5 year minimum by the time it was up and going.
And I just use a text editor for web design at school. At home I use Dreamweaver and Photoshop combined.
The images would probably be hundreds of raster jpegs but at high resolution(pictures taken of the real world, it's very similar to what DELL does on their site for PCs[the like 360 view thing]). I did have a small diagram, showing how it'd work, but people seemed to still be baffled.
Sorry for going off topic xD.

For the benefit of the uninitiated:

CSS = "Cascading Style Sheets"

HTML = "Hyper Text Markup Language"

WYSIYG = "What you see is what you get."


Sorry, just revising.

Good grief! 8O

So they're giving you 5 year projects now are they? 8O

Gosh, and I thought that my ICT lessons were hard... 8O
They must be pushing you really hard and making you all become programmers! 8O
It must be so competitive now...

Do you attend a specialist computer school?

How do you know all this stuff? 8O
Will you have to employ other people to get your project off the ground?

I bet they are!
I can barely follow you myself... 8O

If you're really only 13 and even if the ideas are only "conceptual" I'll have to say that I'm flabbergasted. 8O

It's just a presentation, I don't intend to develop it, it's way too extensive and tedious to do. The servers would have to be far more superior than Youtube's, or Google's, even if I did try to do so. When I do it in Game Maker it's not going to be very good, since I've got Game Maker at home and it's terrible.
I don't think we actually have to know any programming languages. No one in my class other than me knows how to program, and what we'll be making it in doesn't actually require any knowledge of programming(you can use variables though).
Our school's curriculum is actually very basic, in ICT. I know people from schools who are doing Flash related projects. My school only has an out-dated version of Photoshop.
