My presentation on "Sharing Your Identity on Social Media" is available via YouTube (video)

The first of my two sessions at the Metrowest Symposium: "Sharing Your Identity on Social Media" is now available for viewing via YouTube. 

Franklin TV recorded this session and each of the other breakout sessions. The format of the day called for two sessions each on four topics. While the sessions themselves covered the same topic, the Q&A in each may have been slightly different as the participants changed. The first session was recorded, the second was not.

Slidecast to be discontinued

A sad event.... oh well...

Slidecast to be discontinued Dear Steve, We launched Slidecast in 2007 to allow users to pair audio with their slides. While we have seen some great Slidecasts created, usage hasn't been as widespread as we had hoped, and we have decided to discontinue this feature on SlideShare. Slidecast will be retired in two phases: The ability to create Slidecasts will cease on Feb. 28, 2014 Existing Slidecasts will be converted to static presentations on SlideShare on April 30, 2014 To save Slidecast files in their original form, creators can download their Slidecasts from their 'My Uploads' section by April 30, 2014. After April 30, we'll convert existing Slidecasts (on the SlideShare site and embeds on other sites) into static presentations, so that there is not complete loss of content. For more information, please read FAQs. We are sad that Slidecast is going away, but we want to focus on improving and adding SlideShare features that will resonate with more users. Thank you for your support. The SlideShare team From SlideShare, a LinkedIn company.  We send these emails to help you get the most out of SlideShare. © 2014 LinkedIn Corporation, 1 Montgomery Street, Suite 1300, San Francisco, CA, 94104, USA

For the Slidecasts that I have created I will be saving the files. Hopefully something will come along to provide this service.

What should presenters do in this multitasking world?

A great question has been tossed out there for discussion:

New Presenter and Learner Methods and Skills

from The Learning Circuits Blog by Tony Karrer

I suggest clicking through to read Tony's full posting. The 'lazy' ones can view the detailed and related questions here

1. What should we do as presenters in this multitasking world?
2. Should presenters coach (or ban) people away from multitasking?
3. As a presenter, how do you deal with the backchannel effectively? (I personally can't present and work with the backchannel at the same time.)
   
4. How does the backchannel fit with effective note taking?
5. What could a presenter do in 2 minutes at the start of a presentation to get this all to work out well?
   
6. What should we do as learners?
7. What if the presenter is not making effective use of our time?
8. What have you seen that worked really well?
9. What didn't work well? What would you do to change it?
10. Any tools that make this better?

 What should presenters do in this multitasking world?

job search notes: presentation zen for your resume

Wonderful presentation on presentations by Garr Reynolds, author of Presentation Zen. This does take time (a little over an hour) but engaging and well worth it.




Since your presentation is primarily your resume, what tips from this can you use?


Thanks to CS Penn for the tip to view this video

Good Experience: Hans Rosling -> Myths about the Developing World

Greg wrote:

The presentation and visualization methods you will see in this video casts a new light on the value and use of statistics. You can read more about the non-profit, Gapminder that Hans Roslings founded. First watch this video, I think you will be amazed. I know I was.

The video is from TED in 2006, twenty minutes long and well worth seeing every second of it. The first five minutes is priceless on it own in depicting how expectations and perceptions are based upon "old" data.

Eleven minutes into the video, Hans clearly demonstrates the danger of using an"average". There are extremes within an average.

About thirteen minutes in, Hans demonstrates that health is more important than wealth.




or View the video.

Plenty of food for thought! Thanks for the pointer, Greg!
