It's Not What You Say Video Reaction
Although very cheesy, this video served as a good wrap up to the first module of the Communication Unit. Whether or not you liked it, please share one thing that you already knew and one thing that you learned from this video.
I thought it presented a lot of known information. I dont think that it was so cheezy to make it interesting but kind of wasn't But overall it was an O.K. Movie.
one thing that I already knew was that you use your whole body when you communicate. One thing that I did not know before was that the way you say something comes out as the same thing.ex: acting confident projects as confident.
One thing that I already knew before the movie was that a good listener doesn't interupt and one thing I learned during the movie was that the quality of voice sets the tone of the conversation.
I didn't like the movie that much but it was a good review for the test. One thing that I already knew was that you communicate with your whole body. One thing that I learned from the movie is that 35% of the speaker's message is impacted with what the receiver sees.
I thought that this video was cheesy-but that made it more enjoyable to watch. I learned that when communicating, people pay most attention to you visually (if your slouching, crossing arms, yawning..). But I already new that confidence is a huge key when you talk because other people will see that you have self-esteem and that you have something to say.
One thing that I alsready new is that tone is very important in our speaking. One thing I learned is that you have believe in yourself to be a good public speaker.
I thought this video was pretty boring. I already knew that majortiy of communication was visual. I learned that only 7% of communication is the words you choose.
Personally, I didnt much care for the video. I knew most of that stuff already. However, the point that body language, tone and words all have to be the same for communication to seem believable.
I learned from the video that a good listener doesn't judge the speaker until the entire message is heard. One thing that I already knew is that acting confident can make you confident.
I learned that the actual words you're saying is really the least important part of communication. I already knew that body language and your tone of voice were important when speaking.
I did not like this film but i did learn that visual is the most powerful form of communication. I already know that a pause can change the meaning of a sentence.
One thing I already knew from this video was to make eye contact with your audience. One thing I learned was that some people fear public speaking more than death.
Well, i thought this video was verry interesting in the way that it realy made things clear because it but them to action,it also helped me find new ways to explaine the ways communication help in every day life.
Yes, I do agree with you in multiple ways Mr.Buckley. 1)This was a very educational video. 2) Horrible acting. I had never really known how much body language helps us communicate. But I had known that the way you say words can changed the meaning of the whole sentence.
I already knew that the tone of voice can make or break a conversation but I learned that acting confident can help you become confident...even though it can also make you over confident.
One thing I already knew was volume changes how your message is interpreted. One thing I did not know is a lot of people are afraid of public speaking.
I thought the video was decent. It was a really good review but I dont think I learned a lot of new information. I did learn more about what your body language tells people like it did at the game party.
I thought the movie was really bad, but I still learned alot. I learned how you say things can effect your whole presentation. Alot of the information I learned will help me on the test.
I liked this video a lot it was really funny. I already knew to make eye contact but I didn't know nonverbal communication was the most important part of communicating.
i already knew communication is important. one thing i learned is that if you feel self-confident you will start to act self-confident when talking in front of a lot of people.
i already knew communication is important. one thing i learned is that if you feel self-confident you will start to act self-confident when talking in front of a lot of people.
I thought that the movie was ok, but it did give us a lot of information. One thing I already new was that you should make eye contact when communicating in person. A thing that I didn't know was that public speaking is the number one fear.
I thought this movie was pretty lame. One thing I knew was that actions are important in comm. I didn't know that your words are actually one of the less important things in comm.
One thing I learned was whatever we are doing we are always communicating. One thing that i already knew thet was in the video was the first impressions are ALWAYS visual.
One thing I learned was that giving speeches are more frightening to people than death.... One thing that i already knew was that whatever we do we are communicating
I learned from the video that was that public speaking is more scary to people than death. One thing that I already knew was that you comunicate with your whole body.
I already knew that the tone of your voice changed the meaning of the message. I learned that the actual words you say are the least important part of a conversation.
the film displayed a lot of information but the acting was horrible. i already knew that actions speak louder than words, but i didnt know that public speaking is the most feared thing
I didnt really enjoy this movie. most of the things they told us I already knew and yes the acting was very cheesy. but it did have alot on information in it
It was fun because watching a video is more interesting than the teacher just saying it to us. It also taught me that talking isn't the only communication.
one thing that I already knew was that you use your whole body when you communicate.I learned that public speaking is the number one fear. It even comes before death!!
I thought it was okay. The acting was pretty boring but the cheezy part made it kind of funny. I learned that you can send a message throught just not speaking, but expression, etc.
one thing that I already knew was that you use your whole body when you communicate. One thing that I did not know before was that the way you say something comes out as the same thing.ex: acting confident projects as confident.
i already new the fact that the way your tone is the way the meaning is. also one thing that i learned is that if you act confident it shows confident and the way you act is the way your words come out.
