I’m presenting at the Southeastern Brain Conference being held at my school tomorrow. I’ll be talking about the blended learning class my students and I have been creating (really feels like a collaborative venture) over the past school year. Definitely one of the most exciting, challenging things I’ve done in teaching. Students are currently working on their final projects, and the energy in the class feels good.

I’ve got a couple presentations coming up in the next several months. I’m interested in how others prepare to give them and what participants find most useful in them.

As a presenter…

How do you start preparing a presentation? Slides first? Storyboard? Pictures? List of points you want to make?

How do you create opportunities for group interaction (if you do)? How do you deal with chirping crickets if a group isn’t particularly lively or ready to interact?

Any tips or techniques that you think work particular well? Anything that you’ve found doesn’t work well?

As a participant…

What do you find particularly compelling in presentations? What turns you off?
