For those that could not attend the LTS Inspiration Session yesterday (11/08/08) on learning how to improve presentations, there are online bookmarks (via delicious) for the videos that were shown, and a list of supplementary resources can be accessed.

An overview of this event, and others in the series, is on the Connected Live blog: (LTS Inspiration Sessions: Run your own) – Scroll down to Month 4.  Comments welcome.

These lunchtime sessions were based around the world famous TED Talks, followed by debate and discussion about the video clip and how it relates to our work or education in general.  For a personal response to this session see Andrew Brown’s blog.
