Metaphorically Speaking

I think I'm seeing some light in my dark tunnel.  One of my uni subjects requires us to come up with a metaphor to explain what we think about teaching and how we see ourselves as teachers.  In a couple of weeks we all need to present something that covers specific aspects and how the metaphor explains them.

I have been excited about using 'Artist' as my metaphor.  I've tweaked and refined as I've hit hurdles.  But the presentation of the information had me stumbling about in a dark place for a little bit.  So many information sharing sites to choose from.  Does one learn a whole new program or just upload a Powerpoint?  Which program will do what I want it to?  How do I go about explaining my metaphor and compare it to teaching?

Do you see where I've been?!  I tell you, a dark little place of questions.

One by one, I have been answering those questions.
What would I advise someone else to do about the program?  Think about the information sharing later...just begin with Powerpoint.  I know how Powerpoint works.  It does all the things I want to do with the presentation.

How do I articulate my metaphor vs real life ideas?  Having an artistic bent, I began with pictures.  Because presentations need to be attractive and interesting.  Yes?  I'm sure I don't want to sit through something that is boring to look at, so why would anyone else.  And then I decided to record an explanation of each slide.  Everything is more cohesive  now.

All of a sudden I see light at the end of my dark little place.  It is looking and sounding good.  To me, anyway.  We'll see what happens with 'peer review'!
