What’s in it for you? (p. 9)
If you want to make your lectures learner-centered, interactive, and unforgettable, this book is for YOU!
Why lecture? (p. 11)
Most people only remember about
20% of what they hear.
So if you want them to remember more than that, you will involve them in the learning. It’s that simple.
From Listening to Learning
“Hands On”
“Interactive”
“Learner-centered”
Means that listeners are DOING something
Means that listeners are talking to each other
Means that the focus is off you and is on your listeners
Q&A – Sharin’ with Sharon
Dear Sharon: I have a one hour breakout session to deliver at a local conference. I need to cover a significant amount of information during the sixty minutes. There really isn't any time to have the session participants do an activity. How do I involve them without losing presentation time? Only One Hour
Q&A – Sharin’ with Sharon
Dear Only One Hour: Use the Ten-Minute Rule. Time your content-delivery to be delivered in five segments of about ten minutes each in length. In between content segments, insert a one or two-minute review activity (see the many free articles on my website for one-minute activity ideas). Also, begin and end the presentation with short opening and closing activities. Your total content-delivery time will be about 50-55 minutes. Your total activity time will be 5-10 minutes. And your participants will remember your presentation far longer than if you lectured for all of the 60 minutes.
Pick a number from 1~16!
