Teaching Presentation Skills with Ignite

Teaching Presentation Skills with Ignite | Engagement Based Teaching and Learning | Scoop.it
From www.edutopia.org - December 29, 2012 1:17 AM
I know that, in my project-based learning classroom, students did presentations all the time for a variety of purposes. One of the key components of a PBL project is the 21st-century skill of present
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:

Love this.  "Ignite is a specific genre of presentation. An Ignite presenter only has five minutes to speak about the topic, and 20 slides to do so. Every 15 seconds, slides are moved along automatically. The overall purpose of an Ignite session is to empower and excite the audience around a specific subject matter, idea or topic. Ignite is used at conferences all around the world, at EdCamps, and even within professional organizations and businesses."


Perfect way to engage.  Short, sweet and to the point!

What a nice way to use PowerPoint and not read the slides one at a time!

How to Ignite Passion in Your Students: Passion-based Learning

How to Ignite Passion in Your Students: Passion-based Learning | Engagement Based Teaching and Learning | Scoop.it
From newsroom.opencolleges.edu.au - October 27, 2012 12:28 PM

A study in 1985 “On the Brain of a Scientist: Albert Einstein” found that Einstein’s brain was actually not significantly different from others. As an Organization Development blogger put it:

 

                     ===> what made Einstein different was his mind. <===


His thinking and passion for learning were the basis of his genius. His brain was the same, but his intellect was markedly different. He was often humble about his intellect, and instead said that learning relied on working hard and imagining the impossible. So what made his learning so different? What can we learn from Einstein?

Hi Ana, Thank you. I must say I also prefer the original to the reworked version by WB Yeats at the head of this piece!
