Link: How to Present When People Are Twittering

Feb 25th

Posted by Peter Bromberg in Presentation Tips | 213 views

A big thanks to Janie Hermann for bringing this great article to our attention: How to Present When People Are Twittering.

twitter2 Olivia Mitchell goes against the conventional wisdom and points out eight benefits to having an active twitter back-channel among your participants and then she takes one step further and suggests that there are even benefits to having your own Twitter back-channel while presenting!

Mitchell has some great advice for managing that back channel and concludes:

Presenting while people are twittering is challenging. But isn’t it better to get that feedback in real-time when you can do something to retrieve the situation – than wait till you read the evaluation sheets a few days after the conference – and find that you bombed?
