Cómo dar presentaciones efectivas

Resumen

¿Cómo dar presentaciones efectivas?

Presentar frente a una audiencia puede ser un desafío, pero al dominar las técnicas adecuadas, podemos transformar cualquier presentación en una experiencia informativa y cautivadora. Aquí exploraremos cómo estructurar y ejecutar presentaciones efectivas utilizando las herramientas y técnicas apropiadas para captar y mantener la atención de tu audiencia.

¿Qué es el medio en las presentaciones?

El concepto de media o medio en las presentaciones es crucial. No se refiere solo al contenido, sino a cómo se entrega ese contenido.

Ejemplos de medios:
- Audio y video
- Presentaciones en Power Point

Los medios ayudan a contar una historia, a compartir ideas y a transmitir información. Además, el término media también puede referirse a los medios de comunicación masiva, como canales de noticias o radio. Sin embargo, en el contexto de las presentaciones, se enfoca en cómo se entrega el mensaje.

¿Cómo estructurar una presentación?

Las presentaciones efectivas suelen dividirse en tres partes claramente definidas:

Introducción (10% del tiempo): Presentar el propósito y captar la atención.
Cuerpo Principal (80% del tiempo): Desarrollar los puntos principales y presentar evidencias.
Conclusión (10% del tiempo): Resumir los puntos principales y cerrar efectivamente.

Introducción: ¿Por qué es importante decir el "por qué"?

La manera de abrir una presentación puede definir su éxito. Una introducción efectiva debe ir más allá del simple saludo o de presentar el tema.

Consejos de apertura:
- Relata una historia: “El mes pasado, durante nuestra conferencia anual, descubrimos que...”.
- Presenta datos: “En una encuesta reciente descubrimos que...”.

Captar el interés de la audiencia desde el inicio es esencial.

Cuerpo Principal: ¿Cómo organizar y conectar puntos?

El cuerpo de una presentación es donde se desarrollan las ideas principales. Transiciones claras entre puntos ayudan a mantener a la audiencia enfocada.

Expresiones útiles para iniciar y conectar puntos:
- “Me gustaría comenzar hablando sobre...”
- "Movimiento al siguiente punto..."
- “Vamos a darle inicio con este tema...”

El uso de transiciones verbales marca un cambio claro entre temas.

¿Cómo concluir una presentación efectivamente?

Las conclusiones deben ser concisas y reiterar los puntos clave de manera efectiva.

Expresiones para concluir:
- “En resumen, hemos cubierto...”
- “Los principales puntos a destacar son...”
- “Para finalizar...”

Recordar los puntos principales sin repetir todo el contenido presentado es clave para una conclusión efectiva.

¿Importancia de las ayudas visuales en las presentaciones?

Las ayudas visuales, como gráficos, números, imágenes y videos, no solo complementan el contenido verbal, sino que también aumentan la credibilidad y retención de información.

Beneficios de las ayudas visuales:
- Mejoran la comprensión
- Incrementan la atención de la audiencia
- Añaden credibilidad

Al integrar estos elementos, se asegura que la presentación sea más memorable y persuasiva.

Llegar a dominar el arte de las presentaciones efectivas no solo te permitirá transmitir información de una manera más clara, sino que también te empoderará para compartir historias e ideas de manera que capturen e inspiren a tu audiencia. ¡Atrévete a practicar y perfeccionar tu presentación!

I'd like to talk about "How to improve your speaking" First of all, you need to find someone or a group which is interested in learning a new language, take into account that nowadays you can find free options such as Duolingo meetups, clubhouse and some other options to practice your speaking. Another tool that can help you is, to record yourself imitating someone else speaking. Moving on, in most of the middle and big cities, you can find in-person communities that are completely free and they create spaces in order to practice with others. That will help you to connect with new people, make new friends, and lose your fear to speak in public. Wrapping up, you have many options to practice, so, you only have to try some of them and you will see how your English starts to improve.

In 2018, a year before the pandemic, online education was unimaginable and undervalued by many, but then, health and social isolation forced us to use it and accept it as the only and best solution during the pandemic and after it.

Hello everyone, I’m Paula Useche, and I’m here to explain you why online education has become one of the most popular ways to learn today.

In this presentation, I am going to walk you through the reasons why online education stopped being rejected and became one of the most popular ways to learn.

My talk is in two parts. I’ll start with the impression that people had about online education, and move on to the global benefits recognized nowadays by people in general.

I’d be happy to answer any questions at the end of my talk.

Let’s get started!

I’d like to start by talking about 2018, when online education was undervalued by many. Most of people thought that presence was essential for correct learning, because the teacher handling the class was indispensable for students. The popular belief was that it was necessary to share with other students and perform activities under the watchful eye of the teacher, otherwise, students couldn’t learn.

Now let’s turn to the pandemic.

We were forced to isolate ourselves due to a virus. Nothing was more important than global health, not even education or work. Therefore, a new way of learning was needed. Virtual lessons, videos and homework turned into the best way to share knowledge.

Online education allowed us to share knowledge and keep children studying. Having adapted to the big change and having overcome the challenges that this implied, teachers and educational institutions realized that it was possible to train people in virtuality. Then, they identified some related benefits and decided to keep virtual working alongside in-person classes.

Some of the benefits of online education are:

Schedule flexibility
Comfortable learning environment
Access to education from anywhere
Save of time and money
Autonomous learning environment

There are many more benefits that were discovered over the time, but since we’re pushed for time, we won’t delve into it.

That brings me to the end of my presentation. I hope you’re a little clearer on what online education offers to the world.

Thank you for listening. I’d now like to open up the floor to questions, so just raise your hand if there’s anything else you want to know.

Do you know that learning english is not the same for everyone?

Some people can become fluent in just three months through an inmersive course, while others struggle to sepak fluently even after living in an english-speaking country.

Why? evidence suggests that this depends on how our brains are wired. This means there are multiple ways our brains learn different things. We all know someone who isn't very good at math, while others, despite studying it in primary school, high school, and even university, never quite master it.

In short, learning English is not easy for everyone. Even if you are fully dedicated, your brain might simply need a diferent approach or more time to learn effectively.

Many of us may feel disappointed because we study for decades, graduate and look for a job just to realize that we are earning the minimal wage. On the other side in foreign coutries bilingual people are earning double or triple the minimal wage on jobs that require nothing more than physical effort.

Hi everyone. I’m Kevin. Good to see you all. For the next five minutes, I am going to be speaking to you about why you should start learning english right now. If anything isn’t clear, put your hand up and I’ll do my best to answer your question.

Let’s kick things off. Can you imagine how much you can earn, not only money but also wonderful experiences if you combine your work skills or your career with a second languaje such as english in a different country? Most of you have in mind "United States", but there are several countries that speaks english as well. If you look at this graph, you will see the percentage of people that speaks english.

If you do your own investigation you will find great job opportunities on the country you want to know. They will offer you hourly wage, and benefits depending on what what you are going to work on. Well, that concludes my presentation today. To refresh your memory, the main takeaways are the following. Number one: Start learning english today you haven't. Number two: You might think you know the necessary but english is a skill like an instrument, the more you practice the more you can master yourself and earn more money. Never stop learning. Thank you for your attention, I hope you’ve found this session useful. I’d be happy to answer any questions.

Hello everyone!

I’d like to introduce myself—my name is Isaac Ubeda. I’m a psychologist, and I enjoy writing about different topics. I also love studying at Platzi Academy. It’s great to see you all here! In this message, I’d like to share some advice on how to continue learning English. I hope you enjoy this summary!

As you know, I’m going to talk about my tips for learning English.

First, my advice is to study with patience. Start at the A1 level, and once you feel comfortable, move on to the next levels. Second, make it a habit to study for at least one hour every day. This will help you improve your ability to think and write in English over time. Another effective practice is to watch videos in English—only in English—with subtitles. Build a routine that includes watching videos and practicing with podcasts. It’s important to enjoy every activity and immerse yourself fully in the language.

I feel happy when I practice English with others, especially with students at Platzi. I know that learning English requires consistent practice and perseverance. I also enjoy seeing my progress, not just in English but in other areas too.

In the next few years, my main goal is to finish all the available English courses and materials on Platzi Academy. I plan to keep practicing regularly and hope to see significant results by December 2025. Right now, I’m focused on developing a routine where I write only in English.

I hope you’ve found these tips helpful for improving your English. Thank you for reading!

What is media?

When presenting, you can use various forms of media such as:

Audio
Video
PowerPoint presentations

Media helps you share your story, ideas, and information effectively.

Other uses of the word "media"

Media also refers to mass communication, like news broadcasting channels.

Key parts of a presentation

An effective presentation has three main parts:

Introduction
- Should take 10% of your time.
Main body
- Takes 80% of your time and is where most of your content is delivered.
Conclusion
- Takes the final 10% of your time and summarizes the key points.

How to start your presentation

Instead of the common opening like, “Hello, everyone. My name is…", consider these more engaging alternatives:

"Last month during our annual conference, we found that..."
"In a recent survey we conducted, we discovered that..."

These openings capture your audience's attention by telling a story or sharing facts and figures.

Setting your agenda

After your introduction, it’s essential to set an agenda.Use expressions like:

"Firstly, I'd like to talk to you about…"
"Next, I’ll discuss…"

Tip: Ask your audience to hold their questions until the end to avoid interruptions. You can say:"Let’s hold off any questions until the end of the presentation."

Main body of the presentation

In the main body, you will spend 80% of your time.To transition between points, you can use expressions like:

"I'd like to start by talking about..."
"Now let’s move on to..."
"Next up, we’ll discuss…"

These phrases help your audience follow the flow of your presentation.

Concluding your presentation

When it’s time to wrap up, use expressions like:

"In brief, we have covered…"
"The main takeaways are…"
"To wrap things up..."

Summarize your points briefly and concisely to leave a strong impression.

Practice questions

Let’s review. Can you remember:

An expression to start the main body?Example: "I'd like to start by talking about..."
A phrase to transition between points?Example: "Moving on to…"
An expression to conclude?Example: "In brief, we have covered…"

Using visual aids

To make your presentation more engaging, use visual aids such as:

Graphs
Numbers
Charts
Images
Videos

Visual aids add credibility and help communicate your points more clearly.

I'm going to talk about online education and how I ended studying in platzi, we must go back to 2020 after the pandemic start, In the university when I was studying, they did not adapt to the new method of teaching and for my was very frustrated because the class was so bad, very boring and I lost my motivation. Then I started looking for new study methods and ¡I found Platzi! just what I'm looking for, I remember staring the courses with a friend and both studied a lot during the quarantine. Now let's talk about how change my life and my mind, thanks to Platzi I learning English very well, before that when I was more young I entered an English school in my city, but tdidn't produce results. In Platzi I learn English perfectly, I have a good listening and writing, but not all it is good, I have difficulty for expressing myself and speaking more fluently, because rarely I have a person with I can practice on my day, so for these cases I recomend, practice singing, reading aloud and look for a person with practice a conversation. To conclude things, a good online education it's very motivated for learning news skills, professions and experiences.

Here I am, a national school student with bad qualifications trying to seize my current days because my scholar days have been lost forever. However, the numbers don't lie. Since I started studying here, my English has improved by 300%, now I have "time to study" in my days and now I'm starting to have good habits.

I don't know the secret but if I had to sum it up I would say: Every night before you fall asleep, think about your past days and your past mistakes...you can't change it, you only can change your future and every year we have a shorter future... we have less time so time to improve it's now.

As a journalist, every time you think of Excel it seems a horrible nightmare has come to life. The only cases if which you clicked on that green cross wasn´t on purpose, so you click escape, escape, escape as many times you can to avoid the spreadsheet to show. My name is Jeanfreddy and I will show you the way to dominate the three tricks you need to use Excel for journalism and afterwards, you will able to send a sms to your Mom saying: Mom, I now know how to use Excel! Actually journos think maths and Excel is something out of our league, we always ask for data to our sources but when we got, then we can´t really take advantage of it, because we had always run away from anything that look alike statistics, numbers of figures. We can´t even calculate rates or percentages. Ok, so we will learn about data types, how to order, filter and analyze a database without learning maths and focus on journalism. Let´s start.

Online Education: Welcome everybody, it is a pleasure for me that all of you be here. My name is Jennifer, and today I'll go to talk about the Online education, why consider this topic so important and my personal opinion about. If you have any question, I'll be so happy to answer it, at the end.

Online Education is a relative recently topic, it always has been here, but till the pandemic we haven't figured out all its potential. It was about 2 years that all the world have a change, the relationships, some professions and of course the online education. In all the schools it was necessary that the children takes their classes through internet. If someone had told me that it will happen, I wouldn't believe it. However, and seeing all the good things that have the online education, we forgot one of the most essential things in the human nature: Make relationships with others. It is pretty critical because it is an ability that helps us to communicate our ideas with others, is a way of expression and without it or by internet could be dangerous for the mental health. To illustrate, illness as depression or burned out really grew on the pandemic because the people don't had enough a significant communication with others; Although chats as WhatsApp or IG can help us, it doesn't replace an organic and natural talk.

To finish, it is important to remember that talking through the internet is useful but on the other hand is more significant for the brain and the mental health to spend time with your family and friends. I have a question for you that are reading this text, ¿How do you feel better, talking through social networks or face to face? I would like to know your opinion in the comments. See you later!

Hello everyone, My name is Camila. Today, we are going to talk about the revolution of online education. Fistly, I would like to talk about the end of the present education. The days of the students sitting upright at individual desks with a teacher for hours are long gone. Undoubtedly, the necessities in the developed world have changed, and with that, education. For some people, online education is not as effective as presential education, because the students are not much concentrated, however, online education has a lot of benefits, for example, people have more opportunities to access a lot of programs because is cheaper than the presential programs; they can work and study at the same time without problems, they can study in institutions or universities from other countries, and more. Online education is known for having easy access, quality, and affordability. Now, let´s kick things off with the legal issues that online education could cause. Copyright and data protection are some legal problems that are now being studied, but we will surely find a solution to advance in that sense.
To wrap things up, online education has arrived to stay and change the field of education and we have to work hard to protect and control the legal risks that we have in that way of education.

In my teenagers I really hate the English, I did not like for nothing in the world. At the school I did not understand anything and I gave withe exams because I really could not desiphrate the called impossible language for me. I arrived in a time that I thinked that I would never learn speak english. But when quarantine arrives also arrives a period of time of reflex of what do I did at my 14 years old and I took the dessition I will learn english for my part. Hello I am Peter and I will talk about how learn english effectivily and autoditatic. The first topic is talk about hate the english how I said I really hated there was a wall beetwen us that don`t let me learn. Learn english or a language tries about break that wall that we belives that is Impossible and that we will not break never. This wall can be based in somethings like:

Belive that we cannot becuase We always said that we never can do It -> Create a identifly enemy of the english This is what I said about me I really feel that I was a completly dumb in the languages (Today I speak 3 without count spain) what we have to do is understand why in really we say and feel that because often that happen because a teacher or family made you belive that or also because in the school you can be in the rythm of the course and you feel a person that can do it (That in the two case happen to me). When you identifly the why are you feel that you have to figth with that fake identifly and then destroyed for timeless
Not have the correct learning Some people want to learn but doesnot have the bases so they lost very easy for that is very necessary learn some basic grammatic (Vocabulary, Construction of words,etc) that let you drive correctly with the english. It is in really easy because you only have to know some little gramatic and vocabulary and then you already and with practice can understand
The lack of practice or habit study In the next up we have thw habit How said Aristoteles: > "We are what we make repeatdly. The excellence is not an action It is a constant habit - Aristoteles

We cannot expect results with a constant habit In conclussion and to wrap things up We all have a mural that identifly, figth and destroyed if We want to learn these were only 3 but for every people can be more the important is that you can destroyed and give the next step to the knowdlege.
