EDTC-6340 Chapter 3 Celebrating Presenters

Chapter 3: Celebrating Presenters While reading this chapter I learned specific tips and strategies to be able to perform a better presentation to my audience. In order to have a great presentation and not bore the audience the presenter would need to start with a main focus such as music at the beginning of the presentation or an ice breaker in which involves a hands on activity. For example, I attended a Counselors Workshop located at South Padre Island last year. The theme for the conference was Mari Gras and before the presentation would begin, presenters would greet the audience with beads. The sessions would fill up quickly because they would be expecting some type of entertainment. Lynell Burmark also states that the presenter would need to be motivational because it inspires us and has an impact, short or long term (p.45). One other technique to remember is to always smile to the audience and never let them know that you are nervous or not prepared.
