Enjoyed this a lot, Melissa! As a teacher, trainer, and presenter I've had to become well acquainted with gracefully - or awkwardly - emerging from a glitch. Either way the key has always been my genuine love for what I do and interest in what I'm talking about. Maybe I need to cue up an applause track on my phone the next time it happens!

Aw—thanks Keith! I admire what you have to bring to students everyday—glitchy and all. And yes on that applause!

Melissa, thanks for sharing your experience of TED. Anyone presenting without teleprompter is truly brave and brilliant! I can empathize with the glitches and also the support group cheering them on. I’m assuming they edit out the glitches for public consumption.
