The Top Cardinal Sins
Cardinal Sin 1
The Script
The problem is that most people speak at
150 WPM
Yet most people read at
250 WPM
Common Power. Point Mistakes 1. Some teachers like to put every single thing they are going to say on their slides. Although this means that you do not have to remember what to say on your slides. This makes your slides boring, text heavy and causes your students eyes to glaze over, the mobile phones come out and the fidgeting begins. They begin to wonder why they are even listening to you as they have already used up all their brain power reading ahead and drawing their own conclusions. All this before you even reach the bottom of your. . .

Cardinal Sin 2
Dodging Bullets
Example
This is a Very Important Slide • In case you had not understood the fact that this is a very important slide from the heading I am going to make sure that you read the information again in many different ways • The problem with very important slides (VIS) is that you try to get as much information on to them as possible • Because as we all know in teaching you can’t just say something once you have to make sure its said or shown three times in three different ways to get the same message across! • That way the little blighters can’t say you did not tell them • The sad thing is this causes Teachers to use Power. Point's with lots of different levels and bullet points to put across the same key message (over and over again!) – Here it is again – I am important – read me! • Have you got the point yet – Please remember I am important too even if I am a third level bullet point • It does not matter how many different ways you try to cram the information in – Nobody is going to read it anyway • So its all pretty pointless – And you end up wasting your time » Want students to read ? Give it to them on paper! A slide is not the place to do it • Whoopee! • Phew is that it now?
Not exactly exciting is it?
To a student this is a signal to
Followed with a sprinkling of these
And time to catch up on
Common Power. Point Mistakes • • • • Avoid Using Too Many Bullet Points To Try To Get Your Message Across • • • • To Your Class Too Many And Your Key Messages Will Be Lost In Fact • • • • The Term Bullet Point Comes From The act Of students Pointing Guns at The Annoying Teacher

Cardinal Sin 6
Animation

Example
We’ve all heard the proverb
A picture is
words
Taken from an example of a real GCSE Business lesson
GCSE Unit 4 f – Economic and Technological forces Businesses have benefited in the following ways: § Reduction in storage space and costs as materials are Just In Time (JIT) § Increased output as new technology and techniques allow businesses to increase production § Increased labour productivity as new techniques and technologies enable workers to be more productive § Increased quality as robots produce to a higher standard § Automation has decreased production down-time – no tea breaks, 24 hr a day working New technology is expensive Can lead to redundancies Demand for skilled workers increases Money into education to equip the next workforce with the right skills
Doesn’t it make you feel like this?
Let’s break it down
Technological Forces
Manufacturing products only when ordered (JIT)
In cr es eas
Output & production
Productivity
Demand for skilled workers
Skills education for workforce
Technology costs
Quality
Decre ases
Costs and storage space
storage space Production downtime
Jobs (redundancies) storage space
Its all there except
You nor the students read it!
Sometimes the best slides have no text at all computer
Have you got it yet?
Less is more
Communication involves emotions
If you can’t explain it short and simple
Then you don’t understand it
This is bad communication
