This week we watched a video by Hans Rosling:Stats that reshape your worldview.  We watched it to dissect his presentation skills using Power Point.  He is a funny Swedish professor with a very easy way to understand his data.  He talks about family size in one topic and child mortality rates in another something that would normally be very boring or even depressing but he throws jokes in mix he will show a graph explain it make it come to life than make a joke about it.  His first graph is about Family Size and life expectancy over a period of almost 40 years.  He manages to turn this monotonous topic into a horse race of sorts I can almost imagine him saying," And they're Off!" His animations make his topic easier to understand and intriguing to watch.  I am taking from his example the ability to turn a bland, boring, but educational topic into a funny light hearted presentation.
