2007 will mark a milestone in the presentation format for
our weekend seminars. Since my first teaching job at WU
in '62, I've favored the use of an overhead projector as
both a substitute for a chalk/white board (we used grease
pencils back then) and as a tool for presenting material
on transparencies.
I liked the fact that I could face the class while drawing
as opposed to having my back to them. I've used that methodology
for over 40 years. The 'core' of my current presentation
is a 3-ring binder full of slides. I hand-carry that binder
on airplanes . . . I can loose everything else in baggage but
it would be exceedingly difficult to deliver without the
contents of that binder!
This year, we're changing over to a power-point format enhanced
by a digital sketch pad, extensive photographic capabilities
and soon to be added video production. Folks who sign up
for the seminars in 2007 will get the beta-versions of the
2008 format for the 2006 price.
The price of the seminar will go up in 2008 but attendees will
take home electronic and paper copies of the presentation
materials. Our hope is that folks not only refer to them
often as their own projects move forward but will also be
use the materials to support any presentations they might
choose offer to their fellow builders.
Several times on this List I've suggested that knowledge
and understanding are among few commodities that grow in
value the more they are shared. I've been doing the seminars
now for over ten years and I believe the program needs to
rise to the next level of maturity while adding value in
terms of enabling any attendee's willingness to become a
teacher too.
