DC ALT.NET - Stop Talking, Start Teaching with Jeff Casimir November 24, 2009

Some of the most important work we do as programmers involves pitching ideas. Whether it’s inside the team, searching for funders, or running demos for potential clients, we all need to present ideas and cultivate an audience.
The past decade has seen the rise of the presentation as an important communication medium, but few people do it well. There are many resources on how to make good-­‐looking slides, but we need to focus on the method, structure, and content.
We don’t need to be "speakers" – we need to be teachers. In this session we’ll explore the five most essential rules to successful teaching and how they apply to uou.
Attendees will, by the end of the session, have a framework for designing and critiquing their work and that of others. This new understanding will make them better teammates and more successful salespeople.
