What if You Had to Give a Presentation….
to faculty on your first day of your new job? While not really a predicament, I want to make a statement. Here are the facts:
-
This is an annual faculty in-service(10/26), so I won’t have the exact opportunity for another year
-
I will be presenting last and have only 20-30 minutes
-
Presenters before me will be talking about Pageflakes, PRS systems, Podcasting, Exam View and Camtasia
-
Attendees are full-time faculty who use very little instructional technology. I’ve been told they mainly use technology for email and internet research.
-
This will be their first time meeting me
-
I want to excite, not scare them, and get them to contact me for more help
If you had this opportunity, what are a few tools you would showcase? Do you have examples of others using them in higher ed? Here are my thoughts:
-
I need to show things they can easily access and implement without training or supporting documentation.
-
This can be classroom or distance technology
-
I need to show immediate value
-
I will most likely use my http://workforce.ning.com site as the presentation tool, and link to anything else I will be showcasing.
Thanks in advance for your ideas!
