They Snooze, You Loose presentation by Lynell Burmark


 * 1) Use upper and lower case letters, use left justified text. Centered text jerks the eye.
 * 2) Use full size images with audio or explanation Start with something concrete Start with an image then layer word over it Will boost retension 42% and boosts students ability to apply and transfer that information to other situations 89%
 * 3) Make a handout - [[file:Burmark_Snooze_ASCD2010.pdf]]
 * 4) Change it up - 10 minutes of talking head and people are done: How to change it up? Partner share, or some other technique
 * 5) Follow your passions - teach students through their passions
 * 6) Create a context - using an image you can create a context for whatever you are talking about Let your image cover the whole screen.
 * 7) State dependent learning - if you eat popcorn while studying and then eat popcorn while taking the test, play the same music, wear the same clothes, same perfume, Raise test scores 10% - 50%
 * 8) Infuse Humor
 * 9) Infuse emotion: people are more likely to remember: the queen died, the king died instead the queen died, the king died of grief
 * 10) Tell stories. We remember stories. Giving examples drives a point home and helps points stick. You use a story that is relevant and makes your point. Make sure the stories have substance. They shouldn't just be frosting with no cake under them. The best stories are about your students.
