Presenting in class this week made me feel more like a salesman than anything I've done. It was fun using the flip-charts too. I thought the whole setup was great, class was really enjoyable. Class was not just fun, but I also learned how important it is to stand out.
Jeff had an awesome guitar bit as part of his presentation. His performance is the thing I remember most about the entire event on Thursday. The reason his performance was so memorable is that it was unique. Most of our presentations were very similar; we talked, wrote acronyms, and flipped pages. Even though there was a lot of great information, it has mostly melted together into one indistinguishable blob in my head.
So what? I’m going to be more like Jeff. When I am teaching, I will consider using unique methods at key points in my lessons to help my students remember the most important things.

Having a guitar bit as part of the presentation is pretty dang sweet! It really is all about being unique! You remember what is different.
