If you want to make your lectures
learner-centered, interactive, and
unforgettable, this book is for YOU!
Why lecture? (p. 11)
 Most
people only remember about
of what they hear.
 So
20%
if you want them to remember more
than that, you will involve them in the
learning. It’s that simple.
From Listening to Learning
 “Hands
On”Means that listeners are DOING
something
 “Interactive”Means
that listeners are talking
to each other
 “Learner-centered”Means
that the focus is
off you and is on your
listeners
Q&A – Sharin’ with Sharon
 Dear
Sharon: I have a one hour breakout
session to deliver at a local conference. I
need to cover a significant amount of
information during the sixty minutes. There
really isn't any time to have the session
participants do an activity. How do I involve
them without losing presentation time?
Only One Hour
Q&A – Sharin’ with Sharon

Dear Only One Hour: Use the Ten-Minute Rule.
Time your content-delivery to be delivered in five
segments of about ten minutes each in length. In
between content segments, insert a one or two-minute
review activity (see the many free articles on my
website for one-minute activity ideas). Also, begin and
end the presentation with short opening and closing
activities. Your total content-delivery time will be about
50-55 minutes. Your total activity time will be 5-10
minutes. And your participants will remember your
presentation far longer than if you lectured for all of
the 60 minutes.
Pick a number from 1~16!
Terrific Tip Thursday!

 When
you catch the ball, you need to tell
the group two things:
 What
you appreciated about the group or
learning experience
 What
you plan to do with what you learned
