This was a great tutorial on giving feedback! It had many good points, such as, not waiting too long to give feedback, remaining engaged in the other persons comments, and not accusing or making assumptions. I recommend it!

This tutorial has a lot of great points about communication in it. Both verbal and noverbal communication are important and should be used to complement each other instead of being used to contradict each other. Facial expressions are criticially important, which are what I will be working on most!!

Must Do :

• Use Short Sentence.
• Plan before you start writing
• Put the purpose first.
• Use Plain English that'll be easy to understand.

Must Avoid :

• Avoid Overstating
• Avoid Jargony words

This tutorial was helpful in that it talked about making sure to research the topic or topics you are going to be presenting and knowing key factors about the subject matter.  If a topic is too broad and has too much information, the audience tends to lose focus very quickly.  It's more important to stick to a smaller number of facts and keep the audience involved in the discussion.  I was also reminded to make eye contact, which I tend to struggle with.  Also, be prepared to answer questions and don't "fake" the answers.  If you don't have the answer,… >>>

I liked this tutorial as a good reminder to give positive feedback to students as soon as possible after they have done something well.  Also if they struggle with learning something, it's a good reminder to not put them down, but to always think of something positive to say to encourage them.  They are in a learning environment and they need constant positive reinforcement.

This was a great refresher that proper planning prevents poor performance.You have to continue to study to help you identify,develope, ad refine such skills in order to be a good to great presenter.I recieved quite a few nuggets!!

It is important to research your topic, prepare a draft presentation and refine as necessary.  Of course, practice.

It is very concise, straight to the point and covers relevant information for effective presentation.

Good to reinforce the importance of well-written documents!

I've always assumed that communication is communication, that if it was spoken it would be heard and understood.

I've learned that's not the case.

I plan to work and speak with others and learn with communication form is more affective, in hoping to reach more people and help them understand and allow me to learn from them as well.

I've never been the greatest at communication, but as each day passes and with a new job I've learned that communication is a necessity. 

I've learned that people are not always the same when it comes to communication and what can come across better for ones that doesn't come across well for others.

Each person is different and depending on what needs to be communicated there are certain forms of communication that work better.

Staying aware of problems , knowing your coworker or student in my case is one of my strenghts. Remembering that coaching is a two way process is a good reminder:)

I learned that reviewing and polishing such skills will benefit my written communications.

This tutorial covered aspects that most people and certainly teachers should know but it gave me a chance to review and to reflect upon my own presentation skills in class. 

My son accepted a restocking job at a local electronics company warehouse when he had just graduated college. He had loans to pay and figured the job would temporarily keep him financially afloat until he could find a job in his computer graphics profession. Each evening he came home with stories and conversations he had with colleagues who basically had dead end full time jobs. He had long exchanges with George, the fellow in the stall next to him. During this six month period, I watched my some become more empathetic to someone less fortunate than him. I was amazed… >>>

Everyone has room to improve. I just realize what one of my weaknesses are.  Thanks
