Technology & Instruction for UNEX

This presentation by Joe Smith on how to use a paper towel is very simple, but effective and powerful. Good principles to remember when you are trying to teach something - make it memorable, get the audience involved, repeat your message, and emphasize the benefits.

In our online instructor preparation classes, one of the three keys I emphasize for teaching online is preparation. Of course, preparation is important for just about anything -- if I could only get my sons to remember to get their clothes out the night before and not five minutes before they need to leave for school! A great discussion of the importance of both preparation and ongoing professional development is part of the most recent episode of The Candid Frame , a photography/creativity podcast. Ibarionex Perello interviews Sports Illustrated photographer Bill Frakes, and I think he does a great job explaining why preparation is what makes the difference in photography and in anything else you want to do and do well. It's episode 139 .
