I prepared this "presentation" for the Edu Blogger Con East - July 2009. It's designed to stimulate conversation around a number of topics related to presentation skills. A big thank you to Garr Reynolds for his book, Presentation Zen, and for his generous sharing of his work through his blog, website and SlideShare! I've learned a lot from him.
