Segment 1: Why use student presentations in your classroom?

  • Students should learn to get good at (and enjoy) public speaking
  • Extremely powerful learning happens when you have to teach something to someone else
  • Good for task-based learning – students explain how to perform a skill – class watches and repeats
  • Good for classroom management – teach students to respect each other
  • Building student confidence

  • Normal slide presentations (ppt, google, prezi, etc)
