2. Step 1: PREPARE!
Know your topic and the research about it
Have your TYPO-FREE one-page handout
ready and turned in to Bb
Do a “dress rehearsal” with your group
See presentation schedule to find your group members
Set a time to practice; meet up on the Google Hangout
link assigned to your group at that time
Be sure the technology works
Have each person present; share any feedback
3. Step 2: Set Up
Dress professionally
Turn off alarms, email notifications, cell
phones, and other distractions
Arrange your papers/notes to eliminate
extraneous noise during the presentations
Be sure you won’t be interrupted
Make arrangements for children, pets, etc.
4. Step 3: Check Your
Equipment
Set your camera so we can see you
Avoid having windows or lights directly behind you
Test your audio and your microphone
Use Ethernet instead of wireless Internet to assure
strong connection
Remember to look directly at your camera
Put a picture of someone behind the camera if you
need a reminder that you’re speaking to actual
people!
5. Step 4: Present!
Sign on to the Google Hangout link for your
group a few minutes before your group’s
presentation time
Speak slowly and clearly
Begin your presentation by introducing yourself
and your teaching/research context
Refer the audience to your written materials
when appropriate
Tell us about the topic you’re interested in and
the research you’re proposing!
6. Remember…
Each person will present for the specified
time limit (usually about 10 minutes; see Module 3 commentary for details)
READ faculty will then have time to ask you
questions and discuss your proposal with you
These questions are meant to help you clarify
and extend your thinking.
Take notes so you can incorporate suggestions into
your final proposal
