Today: Prepping spooky bingo & some lecture slides

Spooky Bingo

Spent most of this morning putting together an activity for the MKT2003. I'm really pleased with my spooky bingo. It's a grid with 16 squares - each containing a term connected to Marketing Research or commissioning. Each square is a hyperlink to a definition and a sound effect, which I've done with a Halloween theme.

Tried it out a few times - the whiteboard intermittently failed to recognise the home button... hope it doesn't do that for real. I took Gil through it (she delivers the 2 of these seminars for me) and I think she's really looking forward to doing it - she was trying to figure out how she could adapt it for another of her groups.

Slide design reflection...

Peter came in the room while I was prepping some slides - my usual 'house style' - bullet points but with large thought provoking or supporting visual (my interpretation). He saw my screen and said 'God, how distracting!'.... Got me thinking about these slides. Is it gimmick? Do my images distract from the message? I hope not. Need to think about how to find out. I know my slides look beautiful ... does it detract from the message though?
