Make a Workshop Interesting?
So I'm VP Intellectual Development for our chapter, and I'm having a time management workshop for our members. I have the info I want, but I want to make it interesting and interactive, and I have no clue how. Any suggestions?

I'll give you a don't - DON'T USE POWERPOINT.
|
I'll 2nd the POWER POINT idea.
Do not use it if you don't know how to do so effectively. If I go to another workshop/meeting/whatever where the main speaker puts EVERYTHING on PPT and just READS FROM IT WORD FOR WORD, I will scream. |
I have to disagree. I prefer activity-based workshops with some informative lecture on PowerPoint. I need some sort of outline to stay focused on the task at hand. Using multiple forms of communication (including PPT) is always effective.

Candy always helps.

If you're going to lecture, really try to mix things up.
Don't just lecture the whole time. Break it up with some different activities, like have them break into groups by major and talk about the issues they have in their particular major with managing time. |
I like Powerpoint when it is effective, like having worksheets with questions that go along with it. I just did a recruitment workshop and I had our ladies fill out a worksheet before. Each slide corresponded with a question, so we talked about our answers. Everyone was involved in that way.

I would definitely recommend getting crowd involvement. Make sure you have open ended questions in your presentation so that you get a group discussion going.
