    TOOL OF THE MONTH: Classroom Jeopardy

    Do a Daily Double!

    Summer is a time for fun . . . but also a time for enrichment.

    Refresh their energy and see your learning results multiply when you bring great reinforcement games into the classroom. Students will be bouncing out of their seats to answer your questions and show you what they know. Best of all, they can do it in teams--sharing their enthusiasm, competitive spirit and knowledge with others.

    Classroom Jeopardy can plug into your TV or LCD projector. All you need to do is set up the categories and questions, then equip each student with a handheld remote. It couldn't be easier!

    FEATURE: 10 Tips for Better Presentations
    by Peter R. Garber

    "Today with the help of computer graphics there are virtually unlimited ways to help illustrate your presentations. However, in the midst of all of these new visual resources, you must keep one very important training principle in mind," says Peter Garber in his 10 Tips for Better Presentations. The most important visual in your training presentation, he says, is YOU!

    Included in his Top 10 (and explained in greater detail) are:

    • Look the part
    • Pay attention to your non-verbals
    • Get your voice heard
    • Practice "stage presence"
    • Take a lesson from the weatherman

     

    Peter R. Garber is Manager of Employee Relations for PPG Industries, Inc., Pittsburgh, PA. He is the author of a number of management books including, 25 Reproducible Customer Service Activities, Winning the Rat Race at Work and 100 Ways to Get on the Wrong Side of Your Boss, plus over 40 other articles and training tools.
