Death by POWERPOINT - Some useful tips to improve your presentations!

Inspired by Presentation Zen, this presentation is a great reminder not to bore students or ourselves to death with POWERPOINT. I think most teachers are guilty of creating dull presentations, but the truth is that the problem goes beyond education. I think there are more bad ones out there in the world than good.

If teachers are guilty of producing bad presentations, then students can be even worse, creating slides with waaaay too much text which they then proceed to read from the screen. They can be forgiven for this, because they rarely see any good examples. If you follow the advice in the presentation, you will impress your audiences much more – though you will have to know/rehearse what you’re going to say, because reading it from the screen is not an option. I hope you find it useful!

Training for Middle Leaders - Building Effective Teams: Resources to support Training Event 23rd April 2009

 The resources posted here will be used in the 'Middle Managers' final training session on Thursday 23rd April 2009 on 'Building Effective Teams'. The workshop will be led by Juliet Morris - Vice Principal at Kemnal Technology College and Nina Moore - AST and Head of Media and Film at Welling School.  The principal aim of this workshop is to provide Middle Managers at Welling School and Kemnal Technology College with the opportunity to:

  • develop a shared understanding of what makes an 'effective team' with a view to embedding these ideologies within your own areas. 
The workshop will be interactive and there will be opportunities to share best practise, exchange ideas and talk about building effective teams for sustainable futures.
