As Carole says some would be impossible to do in some situations.<br /><br />I see a few uses for this list (that is not exhaustive) <br />1. As a tool for personal evaluation<br />2. As a pretalk aide-memoire <br />3. As the basis of an audience feedback form.GeniAushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074874999181040071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-64529323990628308212010-08-17T19:05:16.047+10:002010-08-17T19:05:16.047+10:00Thanks Jill.

Luckliy we were able to download a viewer and were only a few minutes late in starting - in which time I spruiked coming library events and speakers of interest to my family history researching audience off the cuff - - knowing your stuff helps and having a passion feeds into the audience I think too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-88076428731701636422010-08-17T13:42:24.259+10:002010-08-17T13:42:24.259+10:00Excellent list Jill.

Some of them are impossible given the time constraints. For example, if I am giving an overview of an internet-based topic, as I often am, it is impossible to break out of powerpoint and go to a live demonstration for every site, so I select a few and try to do those, usually at the end. That way if there is a problem, and there are many possible problems, at least they've seen something of the site, and they have the address to try it out for themselves at home.Carole Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01945297805040161267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-58139199327410023472010-08-16T11:34:00.814+10:002010-08-16T11:34:00.814+10:00I agree with each and every point - very well done...I agree with each and every point - very well done!
