We were notified, on Monday, of EOC Training that would conflict. We were also notified of a faculty meeting this week. In light of these I should have scheduled my training for a different week, but oh well. My principal also holds a department chair meeting in the room I had reserved and she ran long. So we finally got into the room and got the training started.
I made a Prezi for this training (see previous blog post about this). It was my first real Prezi and it seemed to run well. I had to figure out some quirks of the Prezi, like my original presentation was too zoomed in. (Tip: When you set the Path in Prezi, click on the Frame you want, not just the Text in the Frame. When you click on the Text, it Zooms in to just that part and may cut off the Title and Frame). The Prezi is pretty nice to organize all of you thoughts on one screen. It also is a little easier to use than PowerPoint, especially when you are incorporating pictures, video, and fancy transitions.
There were 6-8 Team Managers in attendance, so not a big group, but a very motivated group. They were very attentive and asked great questions. The Prezi included just the basic thoughts of the presentation, the rest was explanations that I shared over the topic. The whole event lasted for a little over an hour. I may have to come up with more topics to share, or even come up with an Instant Challenge workshop for the kids to go through.
