Communication and
Employability in IT – Task Four:
Presentation and Peer Mark
1 Task 1
The presentation I created was very simplistic in its appearance, this is because I wanted emphasis on
the text rather than having images cluttering the space. The text was more important than the images
itself, this is why I used bullet points to illustrate what I was talking about to keep the audience’s
attention. This meant that they could read along the presentation the same time I was talking for those
that have visual learning abilities rather than audio learning abilities.
My written communication skills in the presentation had excellent spelling and grammar, even if the
non-verbal communication was kept informal and simple for its readers, I made sure that there were
no errors. My text was clear, accurate and appropriate to the audience that would be reading it. I made
sure that I didn’t use language that was far beyond my audiences understanding and that the technical
words were easy to understand for those that are also on my course. I used a little bit of jargon as I
knew that my audience would understand it.
In my presentation I made sure that the structure of the text and images was in a formula that was
easy to understand, organized and clear for the reader to understand. Additionally I double-checked
that the text was relevant to the subject. I did the same for my cue cards, I made certain that they also
made sense to me and that the notes were meaningful so that I could review it quickly to job my
memory into remembering what was being said.
During my verbal communication, when I was describing examples for the interests that people may
create for their websites, blogs and vlogs. I used a bit of humor to engage the audience with, so that
they may relate to an interest with their own personal experience or a fact that was amusing so that
the examples will become memorable. This means I can make my presentation more meaningful by
involving the audience in the presentation.
While I was talking, I was mindful of my intonation in my voice so that I could change the pitch to show
words that could be distinguished to show they are more important. By using positive language, this
keeps the attention focused on the important elements of the presentation. Varying the pitch in my
tone and keeping my speech slow also helps to make the presentation less boring with a tone of voice
that drones on. In my tone, I also tried to show that I had an interest in the topic so that the audience
could understand the topic.
For my body language, even though I was sitting down, I made sure I was aware of my audience so I
could maintain eye contact with them so that I could keep them actively engaged in what I was saying.
This meant I could also see how attentive my audience were being and whether or not they are looking
