75-Minute Recording of Video Online Seminar • Originally Broadcast August 14, 2008 • $249

Class begins.

The presenter distributes handouts. The lights dim for a PowerPoint presentation. The slides, exact copies of which are on the handouts, are then read one by one, bullet point by bullet point, word for agonizing word. Bodies slump … heads sag … lids droop. Students glance pleadingly at a clock seemingly frozen in place.

Are your eyes rolling because you’ve sat through a presentation like this … or is your face red because you’ve delivered one?

PowerPoint can be a tremendous tool for enhancing classroom lectures – when it’s used correctly. When it isn’t, it can contribute to an uninspiring lecture environment that disengages students and makes it harder to do what you want to do – teach.

But there’s help. August 14th, you can join us for this unique, 75-minute online seminar. Led by corporate strategist and communication consultant Paul J. Gibler, the seminar will reveal the secrets to effective PowerPoint use … and deliver cautionary tales of presentations gone bad.

You’ll get a wealth of practical information on everything from the big picture to the smallest detail, including:
• PowerPoint’s pedagogical benefits – and risks
• Harnessing the software’s best features
• Using PowerPoint to boost student interaction
• Knowing whether and when to use handouts as supplements
• Differentiating between good and bad slides
• “Glitch-proofing” your presentation
• And much more!

Don’t miss this chance to master the finer points of presentation technology, enliven your lectures, and keep your students engaged, involved, and awake!

• New faculty
• Experienced faculty members seeking fresh ideas
