Josh develops bike-share technology and loves working from home, where he can keep his own hours and wear whatever he wants. Today he'll be making a presentation to traffic engineers in three cities about his proposal for making bikes more accessible. Being an expert on his topic, Josh decided that he did not need any special preparation for his talk. Because he was speaking online, he didn't think he needed to wear anything other than his usual T-shirt. Before bed last night, he installed new software on his computer that he hoped would make it easier to incorporate his graphics. On the day of his speech, he set his laptop up in front of his window, so there would be plenty of light behind him as he was speaking. Then he tilted the laptop screen up toward his face and made sure to look

right into the screen so he would have good eye contact with his audience. Confident that he was ready to go, Josh began his presentation.Write an essay in which you explain whether Josh did or did not follow the advice given in your textbook for presenting an effective online speech. Be specific. 

What will be an ideal response?
