Learning Journal - Module VI

Part One

 Regarding our team final research video project planning, we collaborated in our weekly meetings by setting deadlines, creating a gameplan, talking about expectations such as what we're expected to present. We also went over what tools we're going to utilize, which is google docs - PowerPoint and OBS Studio. One of my colleagues created the professional PowerPoint, and I am in charge of the general population PowerPoint. The process is going smooth, other than two of the colleges not turning in their video/audio recording. Thankfully, we still have some time until it is due. What I'll do next in next large collaborative project is set certain requirements or template we'll use, such as cameras being on, length of video clip and try to have a more detailed scope of work.

Part Two

In this week lectures we learned about the importance of presentation skills. The ability to present ideas properly are essential skills in any trade. e.g.: tech, sales, marketing, teaching, etc. By presenting the information properly by using the correct background, fonts, GIFs, pictures, colors, etc. Organization is also critical when presenting, one should practice to keep an individual thought per slide, this helps in keeping the message direct, hence makes it easier to understand. 

Regarding the ted.com video reflection, I learned about all the different perspectives on AI such as what AI is used for. (Self-driving cars, repetitive jobs, neural networks).  I also learned about the creator of Siri, his name is Tom Gruber, his ideas on AI and the benefits it provides such as AI for idea generation. He also has a great focus on making AI help us become smarter humans by assisting our memory.  Anthony Goldbloom, CEO of Kaggle explains that AI/Machine learning is only able to develop ideas by utilizing data, humans on the other hand, can use our creativity in order to put two different ideas together, and create a new invention.
