on December 28, 2013, I was given the task of becoming a moderator in the session inspirational speeches, the event NETS 2013 (National Olympiad and International Conference for Education, Technology, and Science).
Before, I ever became a moderator in the seminar or talk shows, but not in English. The experience of being a moderator in this event (NETS 2013) were exciting and learning experience for me ...
I will share the experience of being a moderator at the event, my job description and my guide moderator script
Moderator’s Job:
• Check with your speakers to ensure that they have all AV equipment they will need, check out that it all works, make sure that you know how to dim the lights, etc.
• Be available to help out as needed.
• If the session begins to drag, interject a question or try to liven it up in some creative way…sometimes if you write important points on a flip chart, it will at least give participants someplace else to focus.
• Keep track of the time. Let the speaker(s) know when the session is 10, 5, and 2 minutes from ending. Be sure to stand up at the end of the session to indicate that it is time to break and interrupt if you have to.
• Thank the speaker(s) and present each of them with a thank you gift.
Here is my moderator script:
