As the visual resources profession continues to evolve, many of us are now looked to not simply for our traditional expertise, but to take an active role in sharing our knowledge of such topics as new technologies, visual literacy, and intellectual property through instruction sessions and workshops. And while taking on an educator role may be a natural step in our professional evolution, the idea of coming out from behind the desk to the front of the classroom is daunting for many of us. This workshop will combine a lecture format with interactive exercises, and is designed to get you over your fears and into teaching by addressing the following:

• Topic identification and selection
• Knowing your audience
• Content development
• Strategies for effective instruction
• Marketing
