      I hate podiums and I hate that some teachers still feel they should be at the front of the room. Move around, interact and know what is happening.
  • Today’s projectors are bright enough to allow you to keep many of the lights on.
    • cherylfletcher
       
      All classrooms now have projection systems or even tv's. There are some teachers who still turn the lights off and you immediately lose your audience.

  • Can you just send me your PowerPoint slides?” But if they are good slides, they will be of little use without you
    • cherylfletcher
       
      This happens at a lot of the conferences I attend. I get the documents with links and things but the actual presentation? It should NOT be any good without the speaker.
  • Use high-quality graphics including photographs.
    • cherylfletcher
       
      The AEA provides great clip art and real photography. I push it to my staff but I feel they use the google images way to much and they are not always appropriate.

  • What is the purpose of the event?
    • cherylfletcher
       
      My presentation will be to the younger students and their parents about our 1 to 1. The students want to get the info quickly and get their new chromebook. The parents want this over so they can go home!
  • A data dump — all too common unfortunately — is when a presenter crams too much information into the talk without making the effort to make the information or data applicable to the members of the audience. A data dump also occurs when data and information do not seem to build on the information that came earlier in the presentation.

      Did a data dump the last time I presented. Had so much information in too short a time. Learning to be a better presentor.
  • Really ask yourself the tough questions throughout the planning process. For example, is your point relevant?
    • cherylfletcher
       
      So What? I never really thought about that before. I definitely do not put myselves in their shoes enough to say - what is the point of all of this. Need to follow this!

  • Good stories have interesting, clear beginnings; provocative, engaging content in the middle; and a clear conclusion.
    • cherylfletcher
       
      Sounds like my English teacher. Introduction, middle and conclusion. Guess I had forgotten about that.

Articles: Presentation "Awakening" - 1 views

  • I am assuming that what Professor Sweller means is that the way PowerPoint is used should be ditched, not the tool itself
    • cherylfletcher
       
      Powerpoint is just a tool, the same as a computer. We would not ditch the computer but we should find a better way of using the tool.
  • Structure will help bring order to your presentation and make it easier for you to deliver it smoothly and for your audience to understand your message easily.
    • cherylfletcher
       
      I definitely need to be more structured when creating my presentations. It seems I am always forgetting something or adding something else.

    I have never been fond of sounds effect. They always seem childish. I think my voice is enough sound unless I am also demonstrating a program or showing a video.

    I am the hand out queen. I have never handed out the actual power point slide - thank goodness but I always have some kind of cheat sheet to handout. Once the teachers walk away from the staff development they always have questions which is my reasoning for always having a cheat sheet.
