I found a number of the talks very interesting, particularly the ones about Prezi and the Cephalonian Method of Library Introductions. Definite food for thought from each there - Prezi is about as far removed as you can get from PowerPoint, while still being a presentation software package, while the Cephalonian Method sounds a much more enjoyable way of introducing students to the library. Who knows - maybe I'll be using it on the next batch of
The TeachMeet format itself was great - very relaxed and friendly. I could almost picture myself daring to stand up and give a talk (although on what I've no idea!). Two minutes goes by so quickly though, while the seven minute talks seemed to finish early. Maybe everyone has a natural stopping point more between 4 and 5 minutes?
Anyway - definitely interested in going to the next one!
Glad you enjoyed it :-) Pictures, presentations and video are going up on the wiki over the next few days, if you want to revisit anything.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'd heartily encourage you to think about speaking in the future - I'm sure there's something you do that we'd all love to hear about!
Yes - do think about speaking, it really wasn't too bad (trying to judge how much to fit into the time was definitely the hardest part.)
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this Diana, and I agree with the others, we'll have to get you speaking at the next one! Good point about the duration of talks, some useful feedback to think about.
