YouTube or other video sites can offer a wonderful way to supplement your PowerPoint
presentation. In this course on "Public Speaking for the IT Professional" at Univ. of Phoenix,
we discussed "death by PowerPoint" which is how dreadfully boring some PowerPoint presentations
can become. Not PowerPoints fault but the presenters. If the speaker finds a video on YouTube
or another video site, they may use it to make the presentation MUCH more engaging and
less boring. One thing to keep in mind is getting permission from the creator of the video.
Most people will be happy to give you permission but may ask about: 1) Whether you are
using the video as a "good" or "bad" example; if you are showing their video as an example
of "what NOT to do", getting permission may be more difficult. 2) Will you be charging
money for the video? If so, they may want compensation. 3) What permission text showing
citations about their video will be displayed and if they have a certain way they want
their citation shown. Most people will be happy to co-operate and videos in my opinion are
one of the absolute best ways to make a presentation more interesting and educational.
