TEDxEMU - Gordon Kangas - Giving Presentations Worth Listening To - YouTube

Presentations can be among the most painful experiences in both school and the working world -- and that includes listening to them. The way most of us give presentations is broken and ineffective, but it doesn't have to be that way. What if small changes in the way we prepared to speak could drastically improve our dynamism and effectiveness? Gordon will explain a smart and simple approach to creating presentations that engage audience and inspire action.

PowerPoint as a basic image editor

Our love-hate relationship with PowerPoint | Visual Design and Presentation in Education | Scoop.it
Blamed for a rise in passive behaviour, and a decline in curiosity among young people, this software is divisive – loved by some, hated by others – but has it had its day?
PIRatE Lab's curator insight, January 26, 2018 11:59 PM
This story seems mire about "hate" than love, but there are still a few morsels of interesting stuff in here.

I suffer from something called Ménière’s disease—don’t worry, you cannot get it from reading my blog. The symptoms of Ménière’s include hearing loss, tinnitus (a constant ringing sound), and vertigo.

LearnHack #5: 7 secret resources for images in e-learning courses

LearnHack #5: 7 secret resources for images in e-learning courses | Visual Design and Presentation in Education | Scoop.it

The Internet is full of stock photos, and it’s never been easier finding a good-looking image that goes well with the topic of your learning content.

However, there’s a huge leap from good to great. Content deserves great images. If you’re a bit picky (and here’s why you should be), searching for a perfect image can easily take you more time than writing the content itself (read about writing e-learning content in our LearnHack #3). On top of that, the best images are usually copyrighted or at the very least come with a price tag.

Fortunately, there are some websites that are packed with high-quality creative photos that can be used free of charge.

Before you rush to the list below, don’t forget to bookmark this page; sooner or later it will prove to have been a great—not just good—idea.
