What I liked most about my TED Talk was my topic. I believed that it was interesting and it allowed me to research something I did not know much about. While doing so, it allowed me to see the topic from multiple perspectives. I enjoyed widening my knowledge and understanding the viewpoints of others.
After seeing others present their TED Talks, I found that my delivery and content were not as great as they could have been. As many do, I have a fear of public speaking. Due to this, I was a little shaky, especially in the first line of my presentation, which was not an ideal time to stumble over my words. I believe that if I had practiced a little more I might have been able to shake some of the nerves and then I would have been able to present it a little more smoothly. As I watched the other presentations, I noticed that their deliveries were much smoother than mine.
When it comes to content I believe I had everything I needed, but I also found that my topic was too broad to touch on everything. When speaking about the idea that many people believe that Catholics often oppose science I am sure there are many other reasons that I was unable to touch on. In the TED Talks of others, I was left with no questions as they provided all of the answers. Unlike those, my presentation raised questions about what other reasons caused people to see a divide between the two communities. I also saw many more statistics used in other TED Talks. I did not have as many opportunities to use statistics, and I felt that this made my presentation look as though it were not solidified using facts. That being said, I did feel that not using as many stats in my presentation allowed my information to be easier to grasp.
