I always use a clicker (wireless presenter) when I'm speaking at an event but I often use it in the classroom too as it enables me to walk around the class & control the slides without being stuck to the desk. 👍 All teachers can benefit from one, especially if you use PPT.

September is the ideal time to start creating/using flashcards (little & often). If students wait until the exam season it becomes a big task workload wise & can’t be used for regular spaced retrieval practice.
Q & A simple. Flash cards don’t need to be flashy!

I’m a keynote speaker at an event next year, the organizers told me that the other keynote speaker (male) had a considerably higher fee. They were uncomfortable paying me less as we have both been asked to do the same & they increased my payment so there was no gender pay gap.
