E-Portfolio Entry #3: Dr.Traylor's Lecture 9-16-10

Dr.Traylor spoke on 9/16/10 on, the eloquence of scribes. Dr. Traylor focused on the different forms they can take and she then gave examples of different people in the forms and how they fulfilled their forms. Dr. Traylor also would speak of a secret organization called HUSAID that would work against “dumbassification”. Dr.Traylor would also mention a crystal palace in the sky where knowledge was sourced from and only few could enter. Dr. Traylor, in her discussion of the different forms of scribes spoke of shape shifters, like actresses. She invited to see a play at a local theater. Dr. Traylor’s lecture was very interesting in that in changed form as the lecture continued. It began as more of a speaking lecture without use of the PowerPoint, and as she went into her discussion of the different scribes, she began using different slides filled with visuals. This transformation in the presentation was very effective, and kept our attention to the information that Dr.Traylor was giving. Dr. Traylor also gave different assignments with her presentation, and the questions that she posed for us to write about were all very thought provoking and truly extended the lecture beyond its original teachings. We were challenged to try and connect these different people in the real world to their basic root form. For example we were to see a play and see how the actress took on the form of the shape shifter. Dr. Traylor’s lecture was extremely informative and her presentation skills were extremely effective and innovative.
