Questions...

Engaging the audience is another element that you could use to gain and keep audience attention. Questions can be used to determine whether or not the audience is paying attention to what you are presenting. Questions can stimulate the audience to be motivated to want to learn more about the audience.

Think about a time when you were listening to a presentation, or when you were in class listening to a lecture from your professor. Did you find yourself more motivated to learn about what the presenter (or teacher) was presenting?

Questions are easy to ask if they are asked in the right way, but that is easy. What do you do if you are asked a question that you do not know an answer to?

Check out this video for the answer!

    Questions or games are the BEST way to make sure people are engaged! Like a game of jeopardy, or even just like the comment box - just to hear someone opinions, cause people always have 2 cents to add in ;)

    I highly agree with sb on this one. When you see the energy around the room during questions or even during little activities you get a feel of what you think the audience thought or thinks of your presentation. The more participation have, the better your presentation will be. :)

    Participation is key! Another thing to make sure is that you actually answer the person's question and not lead away from it. Had a lot of bad experiences with that one...
