Chapter 9 synopsis

EDTC 6340.60

Chapter 9
Tapping emotion

This chapter is all about emotions [both presenter and audience emotions]. According to Burmark, (2011), Emotions stick! This is the secret for presentations that work. Whether the emotion is positive or negative it has sticking power. For example, positive music and images on a presentation create a deeper emotional impact. A positive impact.

As educators, we can make our students or break them; our words have so much power, so we have to use them wisely. When delivering a presentation/lesson we need to make sure what type of emotions are we transmitting to our audience because we do not know the way they are going to feel while we deliver content. We need to be aware of the huge impact we had on them. Think about the emotions emanating from you while teaching or presenting something. The best way is to find out what gives them positive feelings [audience]. The audience´s emotional response is what inspires them.

Educators/presenters need to use positive emotions to communicate and illustrate the point they are making. So if the content/information presented somehow touches the audience, it will be memorable for them. According to research findings whatever emotion an educator is feeling while teaching/presenting will reverberate throughout the classroom and presentation venue (p. 172). Stay positive!

I really like this chapter. It is so true everything I read on it. Our students need to feel the love we have for them. They need to know that we care for them. Also, it is important to build on their self-esteem and confidence by providing positive emotional experiences. It is all about the way they feel. Having them feeling motivated, engaged, joyful about learning by the way we present ourselves every single day to our classroom. The way they feel it is important because that makes them to remember.
