Essay:
Write a 300 word essay regarding how you believe instructional technology professional development should be designed and delivered. Draw on the work we have done thus far this semester and be sure to account for challenges and different learner attributes such as acceptance of new ideas/change, learning styles, and varying ongoing support needed. For your essay, follow the standard introduction, body, and conclusion format for essay writing. In your introductory paragraph, introduce your
main idea and thesis. You should have a body paragraph for each of your main ideas and the conclusion will summarize and
wrap up your thoughts. This is a short essay for what could be an in-depth study, so please be clear and concise.

For this module, you will explore two elements of effective presentations. The first element is designing an effective
presentation with slides using visual literacy guidelines, and the second is how to structure the F2F experience/workshop.

For structuring face-to-face experiences, visit MindTools, which has a quiz and an article on effective presentation skills.
Take the quiz, and read through the recommendations. Post your reflection on the material from the screencast and from the 4Web resources with some self-reflection. Your reflection should highlight key points you felt were important and focus on
strategies you may not have encountered before viewing this material. It should also exclude two personal examples – one of
an experience where you have used the best practices you explore this week and a second where you violated them.
Remember that this course is a safe space, so please be honest without any fear of judgment.
