Talks and Presentations today.

I had prepared a talk with no powerpoint slides on Mobile OS. It seemed to go well with some interaction from students.

The presentaion that I had prepared on the Harvard Referencing System, after discussing it with my tutors, seemed to be particuarly well recieved by the students. I gave each student a copy of my slides so that they could write notes as I went through the presentation. There were a lot of questions, discussions and comments given; which were very useful.

I seem to excel at 'teaching' or leading a group. Maybe that is an area I need to research further.
