Q&AWhat type of instruction is your norm?
Who is your audience?How do you determine content?
What are One Shots?• 1980’s & 1990’s college faculty’s call for
“orientations” or “library presentations” as a result of significant technological change
–History of Information Literacy Instruction, Grassian & Kapolwitz
• Morphed into IL, continually evolving—digital fluency, metaliteracy, threshold concepts…

Q & A
Reflect a moment on the process you take to put together a presentation. Can you
describe it in a few words/phrases?
Preparing : First Thoughts
• Time constraints• Wants from professors
or other stakeholders• Level/Age/Prior
Knowledge• MICs-Most important
concepts…think BIG picture!
http://www.strategydriven.com/strategydriven-big-picture-of-business-knowledge-center/
• How is this information going to be presented?– Lecture? Activities? Demonstrations?– Differentiation? Meeting the audience’s needs

Q&A
How do you account for different learning styles in your teaching?
Organize
• Make a plan, outline, rough draft
• How will you keep on track?– Personal outline– Library Guides– PowerPoint– Prezi– Something else?
Organize Now!
Got the plan? Need the flow…
• Content/MIC’s are the PROTEIN• Condiments & fixings
make it good!• Assessment, making
connections, active learning, building skills, buy in
Putting it all together… • Start by assessing what they
do know (formative)
• Let this guide the amount of information (if you already know this ahead of time you can plan for this)
• Activate audience’s prior knowledge, help them to make connections to the material
• If they have no PK, frame the situation

Q&AAre you assessing? How? Or why aren’t you?
Any questions at this point?
More Fixin’s
• Active Learning! – Audience members gain
knowledge by doing– Feeling confident? Try PBL:
problems-based learning activities
• Scaffold objectives, think building blocks!– Have the skills you impart
build upon each other toward a final goal as you go through the presentation
Buy-in
• How do you get support for an idea?– Lay it out simply &
clearly– Help audience make
connections– “real world” examples
BRIBERY!
Think about your Delivery…
