<b>Pick a favorite example of TPC.</b> By “examples,” we mean manuals, forms, instructions, memos, diagrams, booklets, videos, infographics, and really any kind of example of technical communication that gets you and (potentially) your students excited about
tech comm. We’re hoping for examples that are important, strange, fun, joyous, or odd — the kind of examples that get people interested in working with these genres.<o:p></o:p></li><li style="color:black;margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;vertical-align:baseline">
<b>Film yourself talking about your example for 2-5 minutes. </b>Using your phone or webcam, record yourself introducing your example and why you find it valuable/inspiring/useful as an example of technical communication. For technical advice, check out
