5 Presentation Lessons from The King’s Speech
This is awesome.
This is awesome.
Bethany Smith asked a great question on Twitter this morning: I don’t remember learning much about technology integration when I was a preservice teacher, but then that was 1996-1997. We thought we were advanced for using email to communicate with each other. I’m not sure what has changed in the intervening years, if much of…
What PD reading are you doing this summer? I’m reading the following three books: An Ethic of Excellence: Building a Culture of Craftsmanship with Students, by Ron Berger. This book is an all-faculty read. Ron Berger will be visiting our school to do some professional development at the beginning of the school year. Here is…
I read a really interesting research proposal written by one of our Hebrew teachers. Exactly which method of writing instruction works best? Explicitly marking each error in a student’s paper. Marking a line, indicating an error, but leaving it for the student to identify what the error is. Which method do you use? Which method…
I am really excited about the possibilities at the UbD Educators wiki, and I am thrilled with the discussions taking place over there. I have had some very helpful feedback that has allowed me to create what I think is a solid UbD/Web 2.0 unit. But all the teachers over there are English teachers. Now,…
OK, just for fun, I thought I’d conduct a quick survey. I will finish Traci Gardner’s wonderful Designing Writing Assignments later today. Which of the following books do you think I should read (and reflect on here) next? Vote in the poll. You can only vote for one choice. Voting will close at midnight on…

Wish I could have shown this BEFORE my students had to recite their Poetry Out Loud entries! next year for sure. Thx
I'm not sure how long it's been up on SlideShare, but it just crossed my radar today. Check out his other presentations. They're excellent.
Jesse is an online teacher-friend of mine and I'm so happy to see this up on your blog- she did an excellent job. I tried to teach speech skills during my practicum prior to "sales pitches" my juniors did, and this would have made a great addition to all the multimedia aspects I incorporated. I love it when a movie comes out that high school students may not go see on their own, but can find something worthwhile in theme or a character in the film.
I think you might have confused this Jesse with another one. His profile says he is in advertising, marketing, and PR. His full name is Jesse Desjardins.
I think he is one of the "geniuses" behind "You Suck at Photoshop" which has given me several good laughs over the years.
I like his sense of humor. His "You Suck at PowerPoint" slide show is one of my favorites.
