My Capstone Presentation Table

This is a photo of my booth from my capstone project

I expected more from the capstone experience. I thought the presentation would have been harder, as our professors emphasized, but when I actually presented my project I felt confident and ready. We were prepared very well for this presentation. My overall idea of the capstone presentation was good. Although it too a lot of work and effort to complete a 15 page essay, PSA, poster, and website, it all paid back when the judges were impressed. I felt like I built a bond with my 2 judges and was able to present at ease. The technological aspects of my presentation made it a great presentation.

My Table

At my table during my presentation, I will use:

• A navy blue table cloth
• My labtop
• My ipad
• My poster that I made in IMED
• A tripod to hold my poster
• A poster board that sits on my table, displaying statistics  

PSA Link

I was having some technical difficulties with www.screenr.com. I was unable to record my prezi.

Dr. Manes Visits

March 8, 2013

Dr. Manes came to visit our IMED class today. He answered questions regarding the capstone project. We asked him questions about service learning, websites, and PSA videos. He answered all of our questions!

PSA Intent

February 27, 2013

HOW TO WRITE A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT 

• Keep it simple
• Use real language
• Use emotions
• Keep it Organized
• Make it Relatable 
• It has to be Clear 
• Use sound effects/music for interest 
• Keep it 30 seconds in length

RESEARCH PSA's WITH COMMENTS

1.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp-hH0eem-4  

This video was very simple. It previewed a video about a couple that discussed the safety and care in radiology. The presentation and audio was clear. There was a series of animated texts and transitions. The video was kept at 30 seconds exactly. The information and setting of the PSA was relatable to most individuals. 

2. http://www.youtube.com/user/SonoSite?v=XTCwfTU6wgU 

This video was my favorite one. It was very intense in that it stressed the idea that "there is no room for error". The video previewed physicians in a hospital setting, switching from different rooms, with simple animated texts and fragments that flashed on the screen. 

MY PSA

•  I will emphasize effects of radiation to the human body, along with safety procedures that will help reduce them. 
•  I want to video my PSA in a private office, keeping the environment professional. I may include a classical music background to keep a calm vibe throughout the PSA.
• I will use a PSA that is informative yet causes awareness
• I want to start my PSA in an office, discussing the effects of radiation. I will then move around the office speaking about the safety aspects about radiology, using animations to emphasize it.  

Website Pages

11 February 2013

Website Pages

1. Home: I will include a quote that refers to my entire capstone project. I will have an animation or visual, such as a picture, that gives readers an idea of what they are about to encounter. This page is mainly to "welcome" viewers to my site.

2. About: Here is where I will include information as to why I chose to direct my capstone towards this particular topic and share its importance.

3. Pictures: On this page, I will include up to 5 pictures of physical and mental damages that can be caused by radiation, as well as how they are caused and what can they become if not treated.

4. Model/Solution: I will illustrate my "end product". I want to draft a single page safety manual that I wish to be shared to radiologists/techs through seminars and trainings. I want to keep this page as simple as possible in order for my viewers to concentrate on my final idea. 

5. References: This is the last tab to my website. I will post a blog about the sources that I used for my research, any influences, and a short abstract of my essay. I will share a link to my blogger as well, in case anyone is interested in following up on my research and perhaps reading my entire essay online.

Capstone Poster Approach

January 23, 2013

Poster Design 

• My capstone poster will be a serious poster. 
• I will not use bright colors, instead, I will use medical friendly colors (dark red, blue, white).
• My poster will be simple.
• I will use medical friendly colors, basic Times New Roman font, and photographs of a venue, Radiologists, and course syllabus. 
• I have all the materials I need for my poster. I will not need much!  

Capstone Project

January 28, 2013

Capstone Project

 

My future career is to become a Radiologist. My capstone project idea was to create a conference or seminar to re-establish the standards of proper safety techniques when dealing with radiological and magnetic equipment, such as: MRI's, X-rays, CT Scans. I want to gather Radiologists in the city of Dallas and other surrounding cities in our local area for an annual meeting to discuss the importance of safety, excellent practice, and any treatment that may be necessary to take care of, and/or eliminate previous malpractice.

But...

My capstone project was DENIED, according to the paper that was returned to me last semester! I will stick with the same general idea, clarifying a few details and expanding more on the idea of the kind of curriculum that I wish to base my conferences on.

Poster Research

Making a Poster

What are the 5 most important elements to have in a poster?

1. Structure- interesting appeal  

2. Background- attention catcher

3. Print Supports- guidance 

4. Use of Typography- visual 

5. Language- communicate a message

Source 1: http://www.poster-designers.com/poster-importance.html

Source 2: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1876493/

This would be a good example of a poster that combines the 5 elements of an effective poster
