I can think of a few things – 1. If using PowerPoint – Don’t make presentation slides that are word for word what you are saying. Slides should be only 4 or 5 short bullets. 2. Don’t give hand outs of your presentations. People will read them and not listen to you. Make them take notes. 3. Make the lectures interactive. Discuss a topic, ask a question related to the topic, then break the students up into small groups to discuss the question and give THEIR answers to the question. Then discuss their answers with everyone. Let the other participants say why the answers are good or bad or incomplete. I have seen this work VERY well with adults (and with older kids as well).
