Better Educators Podcast

In this interview, host Eric Robertson has a conversation with renowned communications expert, entrepreneur, speaker and author Nancy Duarte about how her work on presentations and visual story telling can inform teaching. Topics explored include strategies for engaging with an audience, the importance of passion in presentation and teaching, the impact that flipped classrooms will have on teachers as both presenters and learning activity designers and the potential impact of entrepreneurial and self-directed pedagogies. The conversation concludes with Duarte’s reflections on the extraordinary teaching and lecturing of Richard Feynman, who communicated his own sense of wonder through passionate, poetic, and brilliantly structured lectures.
