Are any administrators out there hearing this? That's likely to get administrator attention. Changing presentation styles makes senses for anyone who is interested in folks actually learning during a presentation rather than merely enduring one. Glad to hear the good news and reviews from you both! Whoa, “huge gains in benchmark test scores?” Are any administrators out there hearing this? That’s likely to get administrator attention.

I have had huge gains in my district benchmark testing since I started changing my presentation style to using interesting visuals and less text. I think (or hope) that it makes me explain the content clearer instead of relying on the slide to "do the work." Well I was going to leave a link here in the comments, but Ben already posted it.

I've changed up my presentation style (Inspired by Lessig & others) and found my students are much more engaged when I give them. A big part of my inspiration is a presentation given by <a href="http://blog.scottjelias.net/" rel="nofollow">Scott Elias</a> called <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/selias22/taking-your-slide-deck-to-the-next-level/" rel="nofollow">"Taking Your Slide Deck to the Next Level."</a>. I posted a <a href="http://sustainablydigital.edublogs.org/2008/02/13/as-promised-presentations-before-and-after/" rel="nofollow">before/after example of a presentation</a> I give in my Earth Science class each year on my blog.
