Interesting post from Derek Wenmouth, who asks:
* Who are our learners?
* What are we preparing them for?
* How are we preparing them for this?
* What are the implications of connectivity for learning and schooling?
This is good, and all very well, but...
A few weeks ago I met a young lad, still at school, smartly dressed in a business suit, making a reasonable job of selling himself. Except that for reasons best known to himself he deemed it acceptable to not only chew gum the entire time, but to do so in a way that allowed me to see the contents of his mouth throughout. I realiuse this is off-message, as it were, but surely one of the most basic skills we should be teaching young people, by example as much as anything, is how to present yourself?
This post by Richard Millwood, which is essentially about one's approach to or relationship with an audience uses a creative media (film) context, but could be applied to ANY medium of presentation, even the ubiquitous PowerPoint. The text itself is too demanding for youngsters, but the slide speaks volumes.
