      I am going to invest in a remote for my computer. It makes sense to be able to circulate and be closer to the audience.
  • When you are ready to move on, just press the “B” key again and the image reappears.

      I wasn't aware of this trick! I often use the AV Mute button when I am teaching and using a projector, but now I have another trick for presentations.

      This actually ties in well with the idea of storytelling. If you can tell a story that helps your audience understand that you aren't just TALKING about the topic, but that you have experienced it, you are more apt to get buy-in.
  • f your presentation has to be long, break it into 10-minute chunks.

      I had already decided that I needed to have my audience "doing" something to engage with my content. I decided that since they need to be able to navigate our handbook, I would give them a friendly competitve scavenger hunt so they could go back to the text and find the information. I may have to think about breaking that scavenger hunt up into sections that mirror my presentation so they can work with the information after I introduce it.

      This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone! Why wouldn't you rehearse your presentation??

      THis is great advice! I often have my student teachers video themselves. I was required to do so as a first-year teacher as well. It is so eye opening.

      I have done this far too often in the past and also been in presentations that used too many bullets. I'm very excited to learn how to avoid this pitfall.

      When I first learned how to work with PPT, I thought animations and fades and such were a plus. Now I realize they get a little distracting.

      This a great rule of thumb to go by!

      As someone who is very visual in the way I process information, I can see that this second example would be what I would prefer. It's simple and it's a lot less to take in.

      I thought too much white space was a bad thing. Here it actually works to make the image/text stand out. I always thought there had to be strict balance.

      Knowing your audience well should seem intuitive to educators as we always think about the various learners in the classroom, but I know that as I have transitioned to working with adult learners, this is a bit more complicated!

      Wow! To pare it down to three main things would REALLY take some thought!

      I feel as though I have a long way to go to get to this point!

      I need to remember to have my audience somehow engage with the content or they won't be able to answer this question. Then I have wasted their time.

      Story telling is such a great way to grab and keep your audience's attention. People are more apt to listen when they can relate to what is being talked about. Stories are a great way to invite your audience to get involved.

      This is a very important reminder! If we watch our time, we can trim our presentations to get at the core information we need!

      This is so crictical to remember! Our audience can relate much more to new content if it is CONNECTED to something else--and why not through a story?!?

      I sure PowerPoint isn't going to go away! I am looking forward to learning the proper way to use it!

      This sounds so easy! I keep seeing advice to START prepping for a presentation on paper NOT in a slide show. Makes sense using these four steps!

      Love when steps are in easy to remember acronyms!

      Thinking about PPT as a medium rather than a method is an interesting way to think! It's a means to an end, a vehicle to get a message across. But it has limits just like any other medium, and it's important to keep that in mind.

      I have had some exposure to Cognitive Load Theory, but I never really thought about it in regards to my audiences who are experiencing my presentations. Just because I know what I'm saying doesn't mean they will magically "get it" especially when I throw too much at them at a time in multiple ways.

      THese images help me visualize the important features of a good presentation. This speaks to me very loudly as I am a visual learner.
