Plea for help! How to deliver hands-on experience to 50 faculty?
In September I have a couple of hours for a presentation. I plan on demonstrating a few tools: Picasa2, Scuttle (social bookmarking), flickr, and PlanetPlanet. Ideally I’d like to give folks a chance to participate and actally do something. The most common comment I get on evaluations from these types of presentations is “Looks cool, now we need to practice it.”
So, how can I give people a chance to practice given my constraints? I’m one person with two hours. I’d like everybody to at least be exposed to all tools, but I’m willing to give them a choice of maybe Picasa2+flickr or Scuttle for a hands-on.
Just to make things interesting, we don’t have a lab to accomodate 50 faculty.
In a previous presentation I attempted to allow people to try things by having a couple of laptops available; unfortunately, participation was low.
