PGI's Recommendations

[ellinas]

Hello aviators

I currently have my old paper PGIs from way back and now that I decided to renew my flight instructor rating I was told that Power Point presentations are the way to go and from the couple that I have started I like these better.

My question is if I want to add some more information from another online training website regarding a certain topic is this OK? I am making them my own from my old paper notes but I just don't want to feel like I am taking someone else's sentence or comments and adding them to my own PGIs.

I assume we can use the text from the Flight Training Manual as it is our training bible.

Any thoughts? Thanks

Like any academic presentation, be careful of copyright infringement and cite your sources appropriately. It might also seem nice and easy to paste a bunch of words on a screen, but be aware that doing so might make the student feel like a recipient of your lecture as opposed to an active learner in your classroom.

I started my flight instructor career by doing overhead projector transparencies. (Yes I'm old). Somewhere along the way I made power point presentations and did that for a while. I don't like them. ppt is fine for ground school teaching many students, but not ideal for an interactive one on one lesson. I use a white board now. I put my title and aim at the top, outline on the left. I do more discussing and picture drawing than writing.

Teaching/training is considered fair use. You can cut and paste a "reasonable" amount. Multiple pages is not reasonable
