Time saving tech!

"It often happens that when giving a talk, the audience is  looking at the slide instead of you!" (Pogue 2013).  As we often find out as teachers, the students are distracted by words, pictures or even the color on the screen!  As Pogue explains in his TED talk, using the "B" key blacks out the screen as a way to focus the attention on the speaker and off of the slide. Research has shown that the audience often retains more information when they are focused on the speaker.  As always, I will be using this in my classes to see if this is one time saving tech worth using!

What do you think?  What time saving technique would you use?  Share in the comment section below.
