This is a wonderful slide deck because:
- It uses narrative structure to convey the information
- Few words, more visuals
I found on Slideshare my favorite web2.0 application right now. Vicky Davis, one of my favorite bloggers, is preparing for some presentations at conferences and thinking about presentation 2.0. I don't know why, but we seem to be on similar tracks in terms of our interest, only slightly different applications.
Thank you for sharing this, Beth. This is a really good presentation with or without the presenter being present.
From a learning perspective, I wonder at its effectiveness if somebody does not know the references?

This is a great presentation! I enjoyed watching it. I think it is important to understand that slide shows or anything used in presentations should stand on their own.

I love slideshare - my new crack! I wrote a bit about it here

I love this topic of how to do presentations so they spark conversation and learning .. and how they can stand on their own ..

But, I also think you should have a wiki or web site with links that relate to the order of the presented ideas - so in the midst of discussion - you can reference where people can go deeper

The other thing I think about is how to leverage conversation in the room with a slide. I'm never the only one talking when I present with slides ... Thiagi's interactive lecture helped with some techniques.

This is one of the best 2.0 presentations I've seen so far. Thanks so much for bringing it to my attention Beth!
