Create a PowerPoint presentation to accompany your lecture notes. Make sure the font is legible and the slides are not too wordy. Also include contrasting colors and images to keep students engaged.
Consider using new presentation modes like Prezi, which is similar to PowerPoint but allows you to arrange your slide show into diagrams and patterns that relate to your lecture material. Prezi also allows you to stream presentations with motion and sound on podcasts and course websites.
Draw diagrams, graphs, and charts on a whiteboard or blackboard at the front of class. Pie charts and bar graphs are useful tools for comparing data and showing changes in data over time. In addition, other types of diagrams such as flow charts and idea webs can help students understand how ideas are related. Be sure to include labels for students to follow along.
Make a YouTube Video. Today's students are constantly engaged in media and social networking sites. Using web resources like YouTube to assist in classroom instruction will appeal to students more and help connect them to the material -- and you.
Make handouts. Summarize the information you want students to learn in colorful and detailed handouts so that visual learners can follow along with you during the lesson.
