Exciting places

OSLO - The Norwegian Capital

1. What was effective about the presentation

The presentation takes us to the beautiful Norwegian Capital, Oslo. While many photographs show the life in Oslo, a nice picture also captures sun's last rays at 11 p.m on a summer weekend.


2. What multimedia was used?

Slide show of still photos with captions on the web pages were used for this presentation.

3. What did you want to know more about?

I have liked Oslo and would love to visit it. I would like to know how expensive it is and how much time should I ideally spend in Oslo and places around.

4. What emotions did the images evoke.

I was spellbound by the beauty of the place and the fun people were having over the lovely weekend.

5. How could you use multimedia slides shows in any class?

Multimedia presentations are a very powerful tool which can convey a lot on any subject using pictures, movies, text, captions, voice and animations etc. I may use part of this slide show in my Humanities class for a project in which I would have to talk about about Norway.

Here is the link to the slideshow.

I could immdeiately connect to the holidays I had spent at Phuket recently. Phuket also has lovely beaches and sea sports like sufing, diving and jet-skis.

I find multimedia slide shows very useful. When I view a presentation, I find it easier to remember the message conveyed by it rather than reading pages in books.
