Editor's Notes

  1. Title slide Introduce the topic, this is the most critical learning of the weekend, the rest of the weekend is applying these strategies that we’ll cover in the next 3 and half hours
  2. What is it? Why Use It Consolidates or reinforces information Helps you assess student understanding Engages students, keeps them “on their toes” Why Isn’t It Good All the Time Some students aren’t comfortable responding Can embarrass or centre out students Might make it look like you don’t really know the material or aren’t planned Can easily get sidetracked into off topic discussions
  3. Introduction: Common fears – Round Robin activity – 2 teams – 2 winners face off – declare champion!
  4. What you have all voluntarily chosen to do as a “hobby” is one of most people’s greatest fears!
  5. The 6 P’s to Overcoming Fear Purpose - most important, what is your main goal for a particular lesson (don’t think big picture, break the day into smaller chunks and define your purpose for each) Planning - have a structure, clearly share it with students, STICK to your TIMELINE Preparation – have materials ready Practice – before a mirror, to your wife, in an empty room Performance – be an actor, the classroom is your stage, use it all, be big, get yourself “pumped up” for a clinic like you do for a big game Postmortem – be honest, self reflect, get better next time Strategies used in this activity: DIRECT
  6. What is it? Why Use It Consolidates or reinforces information Helps you assess student understanding Engages students, keeps them “on their toes” Why Isn’t It Good All the Time Some students aren’t comfortable responding Can embarrass or centre out students Might make it look like you don’t really know the material or aren’t planned Can easily get sidetracked into off topic discussions
  7. Have students record Power Point Pitfalls while watching
  8. Ask, “How can you tell when someone’s nervous”? Elicit responses Discuss ways to disguise your fear from your audience: Smile – be friendly, learn names, mingle before your presentation, engage your audience Body Language – open palms, move around … but with a purpose (just like an umpire on the field), use proximity to students to your advantage, don’t be tied to your technology, avoid fidgeting Voice – avoid ums, ahs … silence is golden! – what can you vary in your voice (pitch, volume, speed), project to back of room Appearance – look professional, you’ll feel more confident
  9. Visual Aid Rules: Power Point/Overheads – one idea per slide, vivid imagery, as few words as possible – stress that the PowerPoint and the presenter are a team, the PowerPoint shouldn’t make sense on it’s own Never walk infront of the screen, never turn your back to the audience Free yourself from the computer with a remote device Don’t read from the screen

  11. Power Point Keyboard Shortcuts B – Black screen – toggle to return W – White screen – toggle to return F5 – start presentation from beginning Arrow keys – move forward or backwards – note that N (next) and P (previous) also work F1 – access the full list of keyboard shortcuts # and Enter – go to a specific slide
  12. Never walk in front of the screen, never turn your back to the audience Free yourself from the computer with a remote device Don’t read from the screen
