Courtesy of @ekreeger, I thought this blog post might be a good one for anyone who presents in a world of Twitter:
Having been involved in Rostrum for years, public speaking is, you know, one of my things, so it is interesting to know about how Twittering might affect a presentation (hmmm, must add to the PD of Rostrum). However the only thing I think is that there are negatives for a speaker – it isn’t all Pollyanna and light.
I know that when I was lecturing at QUT I found it very distracting to have people on Facebook chatting away with others – and I think you do lose something if you aren’t paying attention as an audience member. Still, the problems probably are outweighed by the benefits.
