Critical thinking

Hello.
You may have been 'lucky' enough to see me presenting my talk on critical thinking in the last few days.

I think I've finally got the link to work so you can go through the presentation yourself.
Here it is:

Prezi on critical thinking

There's also a fair few books in the library on the subject.
Try the link below for one of the better ones:

A beginner's guide to critical thinking by Aveyard

I'd be happy to discuss any of the issues associated with thinking critically (even the Latin...), so do contact me if you'd like to know more.

Have you experienced that moment where you realise...

...that the person who's presenting a talk to you has written a Powerpoint that contains 235 slides and you wonder if faking your own death is an option?

Death by Powerpoint is probably recognised by coroners in certain US states. Okay, I jest but Powerpoint can certainly send students into a coma from which they may not recover in a hurry.

This message is just to point out that there are alternatives to Powerpoint which can present materials in a more visually interesting way. If you're prepared to try something new.

I've written a number of presentations using a web-based tool called Prezi. You may even have sat in on one.

To see what it can do, the introductory presentation on Prezi's own website is below.



It looks like it's going to be complicated to use but it really isn't. Promise.
