Most Influential


My favorite lecture would probably have to be the lecture on divergent and convergent thinking by Blake Godkin.  The first aspect of his lecture that caught my attention was the fact that he used iTunes to create a revamped, media, PowerPoint like presentation.  I had never considered using a program such as iTunes for a presentation, but when finished, it is obvious how strong of a media it is.  Not only does it have a nice style creating an optimized environment for displaying media, iTunes forces the presenter to simplify, in turn, forcing the speaker to present instead of just reading  slides.

Also, the content of this lecture had the most impact on the development of my future abilities.  I had never thought about brainstorming as two separate tasks before, and since that lecture I can already tell that my thought process is starting to be more organized.  Another advantage to the information taught during this lecture is that it has helped me to figure out when to think without a bias and when to start being more critical.
