As soon as we got back from Thanksgiving break on Monday the 27th the first group presented on their project titled Global Help. The basic summary of this project is essentially they created a website that links many charities into one website so that their users could have one central location in order to find a charity they would like to support. The website would not link any charities that had not been inspected and had a background check in order to validate that the charities are indeed that, charities. Additionally, the website emphasizes five countries that they chose to support most thoroughly.
First and foremost, congratulations need to be given to this group for the effort they showed. Presenting after a long break, a break where almost no one would be able to meet to coordinate, is massively difficult. Furthermore, the week prior to Thanksgiving is always flooded with tests and projects; hence, to put forth the effort that group one did is worthy of praise.
Now all this is not to say that their were not some flaws with the presentation itself. The website certainly could have used some formatting attention. A lot of the photos were cropped off so that the whole image was not available for viewing. Also, I noticed that a few charities were duplicated for separate nations. Additionally, some extra practice on which presenter would address which issue would have helped them along more. There seemed to be some miscommunication happening on who would address which nation and it disrupted the flow of the presentation. This issue also caused certain presenters to have to speak much longer than their partners in order to maintain the flow of the presentation.
Nonetheless, the project itself is a good idea and definitely has potential. Yet, it would need to be developed further under less strenuous conditions than group one faced in order to reach its' full potential of a hub for directions to helping those around the world.
