Tip #6: Write it to Remember it!
Current brain research shows that if you write it you will remember it. Instead of giving copies of your PowerPoint slides, use one of the following techniques to help your learners remember it:
1. The Note Taking Technique - have your audience take notes. Ask them to write down the important words, phrases, and concepts they want to remember.
2. The Fill-in-the-Blank Technique - use a graphic organizer or note taking page that has concepts pre-printed with important words or phrases left blank so that the participant can fill in blanks as you lecture.
3. The Mark-up Technique - have your concepts pre-printed on a note taking page. Then have participants highlight, circle, or underline important words or phrases.
All three of these techniques require your participant to be actively involved so that they will remember it.
