Today was our presentation, "Technology Integration for Tomorrow's Leader's in Education (TITLE): A Team-Taught Cohort Experience for Pre-Service Teachers." We were so glad that we went to a bunch of presentations yesterday because each of us had tweaks we wanted to add to our presentation based on a better knowledge of our audience. Also, some of the presentations made points or had features that we thought would be helpful to address in ours. So we spent about an hour together rehearsing, modifying, improving, and timing our presentation. Now it was fresh in our minds, too. The actual presentation went really well. We said all that we wanted to say and pretty much stayed on time. We were scheduled to have 3 talks in 1 hour (15 minutes to present and 5 minutes for questions) but at 2:30 (our start time), there was no moderator and only 2 presenters. So we kind of felt like we could split the time between us. So we spent 20 minutes talking instead of our alloted 15. When we finished, a new group walked up. It was the moderator and the middle presenter. Where did they come from?! Oh well. Fortunately, there was a break scheduled after our time slot, so the audience just encouraged the last presenter to not try to hurry but just go over and we all stayed until he finished.
So our presentation went really well and we are ready to take it on the road!! We also spent a lot of time afterwards (and over the remaining days here) discussing our plans for what we want to present next year. :-) Charleston, South Carolina here we come!
