Workshops on presentations
N. Duarte:
 * structure of talk (ideal, what is, ideal, what is, ideal, and finally CALL TO ACTION
 * Word count matters
 * 75+ document
 * ??-75 telepromter
 * ?? or less presentation
 * use full bleed for images (what is the point of whitespace around a picture?)
 * push transition
 * using visual movement as part of the presentation not as glitz
 * Font choice - Sans serif for big (i.e. presentations just need sans serif). Serif for small.

Discussion Topics
Are you there to add context? How will the presentation be presented? If the document is going to be read as a stand alone, then the amount of text that goes on each slide may need to be more than just a header slide.

How do presentations differ in flipped classrooms?

Short chunks are better.

How do you learn to create good presentations?
Be a student again.

Eat your own dog food: watch your presentations.

Do you just share "Best Practices" to get people on the right track.

Don't be locked into a tool. Don't be locked into what you've seen.
