Friday afternoon I met with Mike Jeffries to check out the Polycom video conferencing equipment. We talked about camera placement and if I needed to be "miked". We are going to try just using the Polycom microphone since I can project pretty well. I realized that the output is going to be either the camera view of me speaking or the PowerPoint presentation. That caused me to do some changes to my PowerPoint presentation. At TechNet I as able to walk over to the projection screen and point to areas of interest. With the VC set up I will need to add these "pointers" to my PowerPoint slides.
I spent about 4 hours on Saturday updating my slides.
I discovered an interesting feature with Adobe Reader. I added a link in my PPT to a PDF on my hard drive -"Microformats Cheat Sheet". In order to make it readable for the presentation I needed to "Zoom" to 200% or more. Adobe Reader "remembers" the changes that you make to the zoom setting and using [Alt] + the left or right arrow key you can return to the previous view or proceed to the next view. I'm going to try it out and if I become comfortable with it I will use this feature in my presentation on Friday.
Later this week Mike is going to do an equipment check with the other campuses that are hosting the VC. I hope to be able to use that time to test my media to be sure that everything works the way I have planned
