It’s not just getting someone to go on screen and say EXACTLY what is on the PowerPoint slide at the moment. For any PowerPoint presentation, you should use more visuals and less text. It’s frustrating when presenters turn off the chat function, or only allow for direct questions to the presenter.

Forget about boring resources and PowerPoint slides that put your students to sleep faster than a lecture on tax law. Educational comics can break down information into bite-sized chunks and present it in a visually appealing way. Who knew so much could be accomplished with something as seemingly simple as a comic?

HR brings in a new employee and presents the “New Hire Show”. This show usually involves hours of tedious compliance e-learning, stacks of paperwork, and a dull-as-rocks HR-focused PowerPoint. This is beyond sharing a PowerPoint slide with the mission, vision and values. Creating Onboarding Zombies. Share company stories.

The session hosted by Matthew Pierce from TechSmith presenting “Types of Videos to Enhance Learning” was no exception and had that hamster wheel effect for me. How-to’s: Delivering topic information via video instead of PowerPoint. Sometimes a session causes that hamster to just fly off the wheel from too many ideas.

So people, I present you with Lemon Meringue Cupcakes ! Created a rocking proposal using PowerPoint. Yep, cloud based too, but at least that program didn’t fight with my ipad, however it didn’t like my receipt scans. Grrrr, (cue head thunking on wall). When in doubt, cupcakes. Okay, deep breath.

One team at time presents their question to one other random team. If there is disagreement, have each team present their cases for a correct answer with the facilitator being the deciding vote. Why this works: This presents participants with the challenge to demonstrate higher levels of critical thinking and problem solving skills.

Many different versions of the same training program that I created and presented. No one learns the MVV from a PowerPoint deck and some talking head. A binder from a program called “Leadership for Executives” that is was so horrible.I’m ’m sure discovering it will bring back nightmares. 5 versions to be exact.
