Delivery method

Pros and cons

Slide show

+ Viewers can watch slides at their own pace and navigate back or skip ahead.

+ I can use images, written words, and links.

+ I can include any recipes I want to share.

+ I can use text animations to spice things up.

-Slide show presentations often seem dry and not engaging.

-The final file might be really large, and my audience would probably have to download it to view it.

-To view my project, my audience might need to have the same slide show software I have.

Video

+ Video would seem cooler than a slide show. I could include a soundtrack with music and voiceover.

+ Actually watching someone make tea in a video might be more helpful than written instructions.

+ Video would allow me to control the sequence of information, but that’s not really important to me for this project.

- I’m not sure how I would include my recipes so that they could be saved and used. Maybe a download link at the end of my video?

- I’d have to keep it short or risk boring my audience.

- Video can be hard to edit. If I change any visuals, I might have to adjust the soundtrack.

Web site

+ A Web site would be easy to share. All I’d have to do is provide a URL.

+ Viewers would be able to control the order in which they see information and easily revisit things they find interesting.

+ I could include my recipes on the pages or as downloadable files.

+ I could include any image, audio, or video files I wanted to.

+ There are plenty of free Web site builders online that I can use.
