| 4 | Suggestions
- Try to make your presentation as interesting as possible - can you include any music, audio or video?
- Make sure your presentation has 'pace' and energy - make sure you grab your audience's attention
- Don't worry about your ideas - just try to be creative and answer the key question - "Wouldn't it be great if....?" What kind of technology would you really like to see?
- Make it personal - this is about what you would like - not what you think you should say...
- Can you present your ideas in a different way? Could it be part of a dramatised conversation? An argument? Historians of the future looking back to 2010? Try to be creative....
- If you are concerned about presenting - be positive, but also look for creative solutions - could you record a voiceover to play over your presentation?
