Top Tips For Online Presentations

Jamie Matczak is the Education Consultant at the WI Valley Library System and founder and driving force behind the Wild Wisconsin Winter Web Conference. She is not only a whiz at creating and curating outstanding CE content but she also has a sharp eye for what makes effective and engaging live and online presentations.

We are fortunate that she recently created a short 50 minute how-to webinar on effective tips for making your virtual presentations more effective.  Created as a teaching tool for presenters at this year's WAPL virtual conference, she now shares these tips widely. 

Watch it and become ever more amazing. Your audience will thank you (and her!)
