| Presentation Zen: now on DVD |
| You may have bought the book, or seen Garr Reynolds (I had the pleasure of this last year in Sydney). Now you can 'watch' the book presented - an ideal format given the visual nature of his message.

| How to Give a Lecture |
| Professor Patrick Winston demonstrates how to give an effective talk, illustrating his suggestions by using them himself. He emphasizes how to start a lecture, cycling in on the material, using verbal punctuation to indicate transitions, describing "near misses" that strengthen the intended concept, and asking questions. He also talks about using the blackboard, overhead projections, props, and "how to stop."
Divided into short video chunks - thanks CafeDave. |
