Large Group Presentations • Some TED talk presenters practice the presentations 200 times. • 200 times! • And let’s be honest, even some of those can be so-so if we’re not into the topic. • So what can we do? (Forbes. com 2014)

Well Constructed Large Group Presentations • Clearly understandable • Know your audience and their lingo • Chunk into 3 s • The rule of 3 abides • Emotional • Basic rules Humor, poignancy, tap into the humanity of your audience • Start in the middle • Get into the cool parts right away • Show, don’t tell • When possible (unlike right now) • It’s not about YOU • Let your work speak for your credibility Passionate Users (Headrush. typepad, com, 2006; Forbes. com, 2013)

The Measuring Stick Just the WORST http: //www. publicdomainpictures. net/hledej. php? x=0&y=0&hleda=measuring

Well Constructed Small Group Presentations • Engage individuals • Because you actually can! • Use active learning • • Get your audience to do stuff When applicable • Active learning techniques • Think-Pair-Share • Roundtable Brainstorming • Gamification • Ask for input • Include discussion questions (Fornari and Poznanski, editors, IAMSE)

Build a Presentation Workshop • Using a topic you know very well, weave a 3 slide presentation based on the rules we’ve been discussing. • Try Kahoot, Polleverywhere, or any other interactive option! http: //www. publicdomainpictures. net/viewimage. php? image=18035&picture=weaving-loom

Build a Presentation Workshop • Stand Deliver! • Each participant will have 1: 30 to present the topic (stopwatches at the ready!) • 3: 30 will be spent receiving feedback based on the ideas in this session.

Feedback • Was it clearly understandable? • Give examples of why yes or no • Was rule of 3 used? • If not, good reason? • Was it emotionally involving? • If not, should it have been? • Did it start in the middle? • Or at least get into the cool parts quickly? • Did it show or tell? • Would the opposite have been better? • Was it about the presenter? • Did they let the work speak?

Critical Assessment • What should be three key qualities of good presentations? • Discuss the pros and cons of each concept and finish the session with the construction of a group presentation that adheres to the rules that arise during the discussion.

Summary Good Large Group Presenting: Good Small Group Presenting: • Clearly understandable • Chunk into 3 s • Emotional hooks • Start in the middle • Show, don’t tell • Engage individuals • Ask for input • Active Learning

Most Importantly It’s not about YOU It’s about the PRESENTATION http: //www. publicdomainpictures. net/view-image. php? image=54439&picture=hand-with-pointing-finger
