Starting with an image should be every teacher/presenters goal, they say a picture says a thousand words and how true is that from Burmarks’ point of view in her example of Making Education Stick. (pg. 115) I really loved this chapter and am so excited to share with my students and peers. How simple to present a picture and just talk about something that is relevant to it. The placement of the images is to fill the slide with wonderful photos and just talk about it. How simple and amazing is that!!
Setting the stage for your audience is of utmost importance for any speaker. Capturing their attention with vivid photos that enhance your topic to connect with your audience, as Burmark stated in this chapter, the stronger the correlation, the better the slides. (pg. 115)
This has been a remarkable chapter that I definitely plan to use in my own presentations in class from now on. No more boring, read along presentations for me. All I can say is Wow, wow, and WOW!!
