Did the speaker gain your attention at the beginning of the presentation? How?
_Honestly, He really didnt gain my attention at all. I had a really hard time
paying attention to him, maybe it was because I was a bit tired, but I could not
stay interested in what he was saying.

MORE INFORMATION TO RESPOND TO. (I refers to you the student)
Now that I have had an opportunity to evaluate an event as an adult learning
event, here are some of the things I think are important in facilitating adult
learning:
1. Relevance to the learner__________________________________________________
2. Engage the learner_____________________________________________________
3. Dont just tell them something or talk at them, encourage them to think about
it for themselves

I think that facilitating adult learning is different from facilitating the learning of
children in the following ways:
_When teaching adults you often dont need to go into as much detail when
explaining things. Adults already have enough experience and knowledge to be
able to figure things out as you tell them. You have to be careful that you dont
end up boring them by over explaining. Also, it is important to try and bring in
experiences. It would understandably be more difficult to do this in larger
groups, but there are still plenty of things that most people would have in
common that a speaker can incorporate.
I think that some concepts apply to both the facilitation of adult and childhood
learning, such as
_Relevancy of the subject is key to teaching anyone. If the subject has no
application to their lives, they probably wont listen and learn. Both children and
adults need to be engaged in what the speaker is saying as well. It the speaker is
just rambling on without trying to keep the audiences attention, then no one will
learn anything.
Evaluating this event has raised some questions in my mind concerning adult
education:
It hasnt really raised any questions. It has made me think a bit about the best
ways to engage a crowd.
