Don't Let Them Drop Dead: Powerpoint Presentations that work |
|
|
Our session will use digital media and digital environments to help teachers improve communication and presentation skills. The authority we bow to is Garr Reynolds, whose book, Presentation Zen, guides us through an innovative, sophisticated yet timeless tour of Design--combining industry principles with the tenets of Zen simplicity. Together we will learn to question the traditional ways of "slide presentations" and put the "power" back in to "PowerPoints" across the curriculum, and across a myriad of presentation styles.

Eve Minuk Richmond, BC Eve Minuk has taught for twenty years in a variety of elementary schools in BC and the United States and for the past four years has become a secondary teacher at A.R. MacNeill in Richmond, BC. In her current position as a Learning Resource Teacher, she has many roles and is most passionate about the work she does as a co-teacher supporting students with special needs in regular classrooms. Most recently, Eve has been working on increasing the amount of technology use in the classroom and last year set up her first class blog. This year she is trying not to kill people off with boring PowerPoint Presentations. Eve lives with her 16 year old son who enjoys making it clear she is a digital immigrant. eminuk@sd38.bc.ca Susan Koo Richmond, BC Susan Koo is a counsellor at R.A. McMath Secondary. For the past 8 years she has been chiselling out a place in secondary counselling, having arrived here from a collusion with several English and ESL departments in the Vancouver School Board. Susan spent a couple of years teaching overseas in Australia and China. That experience awakened her to the precious privileges that elevate her, without ceremony, as a part of the under-appreciated Canadian condition. The ethical obligation would be that she would parttake in these offerings with the goal of giving back. So she is here to give back what did not cost her a dime to learn--how to present effectively. skoo@sd38.bc.ca |
