I&#8217;m not sure how it compares to PowerPoint since I don&#8217;t use PPT, but it&#8217;s not that different than doing WWW pages really. Of course I tend to give pretty vanilla presentations as far as the slides go &#8212; no sounds, waddling ducks, video, etc. Even then I do and did tend to break out of the show to go to a WWW site to illustrate my points.<br \/>\nI spent most of my talk going on about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oreilly.com\/catalog\/wemedia\/\">Dan Gillmor&#8217;s We the Media book<\/a>. The idea here is to give the visitors a good reference to take home which they may read at their own pace and translate as slowly or as fast as needed.<br \/>\nListening to me if you at not an English listener poses several problems: I speak too quickly, I have a Southen accent, I slur words on top of that, I often overuse technical and slangy jargon. Other than that I am a perfect speaker.<br \/>\nMy slides can be gotten from the link above in PDF format, but I particularly want to get down the measures of social capital for blogs that I&#8217;ve been thinking of lately (after hearing some comments from Fred) which are not in the slides.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Is the blog updated regularly? If so more social capital.<\/li>\n<li>\nAre there a lot of comments? The more the more SC.<\/li>\n<li>\nAre the comments mostly intelligent and on-topic?<\/li>\n<li>\nDoes the blog have a high <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/\">Technorati<\/a> ranking? Crosspostings, references, etc.<\/li>\n<li>\nAnd the final and acid test: <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Does the blog have at least one &#8220;open thread&#8221;?<\/li>\n<li>And does that thread have a lot of intelligent comments?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning I did a talk about &#8220;Internet and Journalism&#8221; (in PDF about 10 pages) to visiting Jordanian journalists as part of The Role of Print Media in Forging Press Freedoms: An Exchange Program Between Jordanian and American Journalists program through the University Center for International Studies and the School of Journalism and the Center [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general","post-preview"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/pjones\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/pjones\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/pjones\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/pjones\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/pjones\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=100"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/pjones\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/pjones\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/pjones\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=100"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/pjones\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
