OK, as "tweeted" during the session, I totally missed Ian's presentation after he started the presentation with some Twitter instructions. That happens to me all the time! One thing I am learning in these Instructional Technologies classes is to be very, very careful with "The Hook". Education professionals are constantly searching for that hook that will get their students interested and focused on the task at hand. But it's been my experience that the hook can be extremely distracting for certain learners. I'm one of those learners! That "Voki" thing that everyone is throwing into their projects now... whenever I see it I tune out of the project and go play with Voki!
The other day another student prefaced a presentation with a demo of Spokeo. I spent the entire presentation looking myself and others up on Spokeo. The irony is, the actual presentation had nothing to do with Spokeo.... the presenter just thought it would be something interesting for us to see.
Anyway... I have to lookup Ian's presentation because what I glanced at was informative, and the actual design of his presentation materials looked GREAT!
