New Ideas for Solo (All-Day) Presentations

[showbizrn]

I present all-day workshops

on Power Point

I'm presently seeking

other teaching methods

(i.e., role-playing, small group discussions,

small group presentations)

that will promote

the learning process

within that format.

Got any ideas?

Thanks!!!---in advance!

Activities that get people out of their seats help alot to break things up. Even a stretch break or a back scratch break can help.

Have some contests. Form a couple of groups and pose a question for which the group must determine an answer. A representative writes the answer on a board. First group with an answer wins something small.

Have a beanbag toss for question and answer times. People throw the beanbag to others who have questions and only the beanbag holder can ask a question. Then he throws it to the next person wanting to talk.

I went to a workshop one time on presenting long presentations. It said we are programmed by tv to only have about a 17 minute attention span, and as we're involved in a topic, the span gets shorter and shorter. So, it's important to change what the group is doing about every 17 minutes so people don't lose ability to pay attention...
