Your Students Are On TV • Interact and engage with all students • Make an extra effort for remote students • Have students talk with each other
Timing for Delivering Instruction • Using PenPal to send image to the remote site • Switching takes practice • Switching becomes second nature • Instructor – pacing eternity / student - pacing normal
Class Preparation • Can’t deliver lesson “off the cuff” • Prepare in advance for both the content and visuals • Practice delivery
Delivery of Visuals • Pace visuals with content • Change on what’s on the screen • A talking head on the screen gets tiring • Change graphics with content • Tip: switch to your visual a few seconds before talking about
Use Visuals, Visuals, and Visuals • Show your students what you are talking about • Visuals reinforce what is being heard • But don’t over do it

Involve Students • Make name “name plates” • Call students by their names • Encourage students sit up front
Focus on the Students and Not What’s on the Monitor • Glance at the monitor • Focus on students at both sites • What’s on the monitor - for the your student’s benefit
Did your Students “Get It”? • The question is “did the learn?” • Don’t speak, communicate • Create a dialogue • Make it comfortable to ask questions or make comments • Follow up with questions or a discussion
Be Enthusiastic • It’s contagious • Especially on the first day • Ease the technology and distance fears
Use Facial Expressions • You’re on TV • First impressions are extremely crucial • Gain or lose of credibility
Give Effective Closings • Review what’s been covered • Ask if there are any questions • Provide an overview of the next class meeting • If there is any, clarify any homework assignments
Be Yourself • Don’t be someone you aren’t - students can sense it • Cultivate your own presentation style • Don’t read your presentation; it’s an organizer • Presenting what you know
Speaking Tips • Project your voice to the back of the room • Avoid speaking in a monotone voice • Words to avoid – “ah” “um” “and” “huh” • Alternate the pace of your voice • At important key points, slow down • Silence is an exclamation point • Don’t over gesture
Annoying Movements • Playing with jewelry • Licking or biting your lips • Constantly adjusting your glasses • Popping the top of a pen • Playing with facial hair (men) • Twirling your hair • Jingling change in your pocket • Leaning on anything for support
Dressing for an IVC • Wear something comfortable • Use basic colors • Make sure the shirt is tucked • Avoid flashy, bold patterns or small stripes in ties • Hair should be neat and out of eyes • Apply extra make-up • Use powder on nose and forehead
What not to wear • Do not wear white, red, especially fuchsia or very bright colors • Loud or large plaids, prints small strips or patterns - causes havoc • Large, bulky and shiny jewelry - same • Loud clothes speak volumes Unfortunately they speak over the presenter
