Planning a teaching session
When you are allocated a topic, think about what you want your colleagues to get from the session (ie learning objectives), then have a search around the web for some resources.
These may be videos…podcasts…articles…etc etc.
If you havent already try using http://www.googlefoam.com.
You will see several websites referenced frequently eg
http://www.lifeinthefastlane.com
These are excellent and easy reads
Feel free to add to this list through the discussion blog and we will start a virtual library…not only of your presentations but of links etc that you found useful.
On the subject of presentations…
-try to get away from the passive didactic powerpoint ramble
-remember…your colleagues already have that background info (from your pre-reading), so your talk can be applied and to the point
-so engage the audience…
-use cases “….What would you do next?”
-Quizzes and Small group discussions are great at generating good discussion…the more interactive the better.
Otherwise if you can register with the website then I can make sure I have all your email addresses (dont worry I wont bombard you with emails).
Look forward to working with you all!
