Planning: Suggested Approach
• Stick to the knitting• Discuss topic with others • Get scheduled by ASCCA Coordinator• Think from participants pov.• Organise a flow.• Slide programs great for organising (eg PP)
Planning: Visuals
• PowerPoint, Open Office, Google Docs• Four standard BbC slides at front• One topic per slide• Large, simple text• Should summarize what you are saying• Consider suitable graphics• KISS
Planning: Slides – What Doesn’t Work
• Custom Animation• Slide transitions• Animated GIF’s (add later)• Fine detail with lots of text, particularly if its in some fancy
font or colour without contrast
• No variety or participation• No Collaboration
Planning: Spicing It Up
• Add Graphics – Google search for Images• Graphics must relate to content / message• Add animated GIF’s when in BbC• Participation opportunities• Questions• Personal experiences
Planning: Your Words
• Relevant to your visuals or actions• PowerPoint Notes section??• MS Word 2 column table, 1 row per slide• Bullet points as memory joggers• Don’t just read the slides• Questions to ask participants• Participation cues
Planning For ParticipationTry to include:
• Questions to promote discussion. • Opinion, suggestions, ideas, tips on…..• Smileys, surveys to get feedback• Application Sharing; Web Tour• Whiteboard collaboration??
