This week we spent most of our time finishing our multimedia projects. Thankfully, my group and I were very productive and we were able to finish everything just in time for the presentations on Friday. Instead of doing the usual presentations in front of the whole class, we did a gallery walk. To better understand what a gallery walk is, I read this short but informative article: serc.carleton.edu/introgeo/gallerywalk/what.html. There were aspects of this that I liked and other aspects that I did not like. Some of the cons to a gallery walk for a group project is that the pressure of presenting is all on one person, the docent. This is not really fair because that one person does not get to see anyone else's presentations and the rest of the group does no work as far as the presentation aspect goes. I was the docent and I was really disappointed I did not get to see the other group's projects. Some of the positive aspects of a galley walk style of presentation is that I got to give the presentation to a much smaller group of people so it was less intimidating. Although it did feel repetitive since I had to give the same presentation multiple times, the discussion afterwards was unique and different with each group and I enjoyed that. Overall, I think that the galley walk style of presenting is easier for the presenter and more enjoyable for the audience but it is unfair with a group project since one person is forced to do the whole presentation on their own and the rest of the group has nothing to do.
