@JKatzaman @KSThakral Always good to get a fresh perspective Jim! #INZpirED

VipulaSharma1 Aug 19 @ 10:37 PM EDT

@rsehji visuals & presentations can often get in the way for Ss I find & distract them from actually sharing their ideas verbally #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:37 PM EDT

@rsehji Being a tech T, I still use A3 sheets/ flipcharts & marker pens with my Ss. Variety of presentation techniques is crucial #INZPirED

Edk8R Aug 19 @ 10:37 PM EDT

@rsehji Hi everyone, I think the arts are still a wonderful way for Ss to communicate learning #INZpirED

__jamesanderson Aug 19 @ 10:37 PM EDT

@rsehji @ginaheidekruger I'll do my best! Hope you can make it #stuchatNZ #INZPirED

JKatzaman Aug 19 @ 10:37 PM EDT

@rsehji Hello again, Ritu. #INZPirED

KaiakoWilson Aug 19 @ 10:38 PM EDT

Student presentations take on many forms: is the topic visual or verbal? Or both? #INZpirED

Gail_Boddy Aug 19 @ 10:38 PM EDT

Various techniques such as drama, musical performance are useful means to present student work. #INZpirED https://t.co/EOPyUtNXoX

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:38 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 @rsehji Yep, & Ss can end up spending more time on animations/transitions than content #INZpirED

VipulaSharma1 Aug 19 @ 10:38 PM EDT

If #notech fr presentations then jst focus on talking well & make effective use of #bodylanguage & engage audience with discussion #INZpirED

__jamesanderson Aug 19 @ 10:39 PM EDT

Student presentations are highly important because it gives Ss the chance to show off the amazing work they do #INZPirED

rsehji - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:39 PM EDT

@Edk8R Thanks Ximena. Posters, science boards still very much the flavour. Giving Ss opps to be Ts has been engaging, I found. #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:39 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 @rsehji Agree as long as there is some sort of planning on how to share ideas verbally #INZPirED

KaiakoWilson Aug 19 @ 10:39 PM EDT

If combining visual with verbal Ss can often turn away from the audience to 'check' the visual, losing connection. #INZpirED

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:40 PM EDT

@Edk8R @rsehji I agree, unless it is a formal presentation I'm seeking, I like to give Ss as much choice as possible #INZpirED

VipulaSharma1 Aug 19 @ 10:40 PM EDT

@Ajarn_Adam @rsehji yes they lose the message & their confidence; in fact next presso for kids & maybe for me too will be #notech #INZpirED

Edk8R Aug 19 @ 10:40 PM EDT

@rsehji Im collaborating w Ss to show understanding of changes of state through dance #INZpirED

VipulaSharma1 Aug 19 @ 10:41 PM EDT

@KSThakral yes definitely, work on soft skills, voice projection, pace, tone etc to really convey your message well #INZpirED @a

KSThakral - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:41 PM EDT

@KaiakoWilson Same goes for teachers and most presenters. There is often that comfort of checking your source material #INZPirED

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:41 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 I always have a Q & A at the end with extra credit for Ss in audience who participate #INZpirED

JKatzaman Aug 19 @ 10:41 PM EDT

Getting students used to presentations early on can help get them out of their shells and overcome fear of public speaking. #INZPirED

__jamesanderson Aug 19 @ 10:41 PM EDT

When it comes to student presentations, should the students or teachers choose how it should be presented? #INZPirED

Edk8R Aug 19 @ 10:41 PM EDT

@Ajarn_Adam @rsehji For a blended class I have, they choose how to share lng. One group wrote a song! #INZpirED

VipulaSharma1 Aug 19 @ 10:42 PM EDT

@Edk8R @rsehji that's an interesting idea; guess art and music could also be used #INZpirED

VipulaSharma1 Aug 19 @ 10:43 PM EDT

@__jamesanderson I think it should be a discussion between the two so that everyone is on board to meet the expectations #INZpirED

KaiakoWilson Aug 19 @ 10:43 PM EDT

@KSThakral It's fine to check but needs to be subtle rather than abrupt. #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:43 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 Soft skills often lose out to content though. There is often that assumption that it will be there. #INZPirED

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:43 PM EDT

@__jamesanderson Depends on the topic & level of formality required - I'm often open to suggestions, variety is v important! #INZpirED

__jamesanderson Aug 19 @ 10:43 PM EDT

@Ajarn_Adam I was thinking the same thing. Variety is so important but also a process in which Ss feel safe and proud to present #INZPirED

VipulaSharma1 Aug 19 @ 10:43 PM EDT

@JKatzaman agree with that Jim, as a child I was never given the opps at school to present, it is a skill that needs to be taught #INZpirED

rsehji - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:44 PM EDT

Am still waiting for my Ss 2 create an oral presentation for Eng std. Sometimes,find Ss dont take up opps #INZpirED https://t.co/aTKo3sxRRq

@VipulaSharma1 I like the idea. Going for that collaborative approach? #INZPirED

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:44 PM EDT

@Edk8R @rsehji I give Ss the option of creating a song as their final product for certain topics :) #INZpirED

VipulaSharma1 Aug 19 @ 10:45 PM EDT

@KSThakral true so we need to combine the 2 & create opps for Ss to present to peers, Ps & other adults #INZpirED

rsehji - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:45 PM EDT

@Ajarn_Adam @VipulaSharma1 true that, just what I end up doing too, at times :p #INZpirED

JKatzaman Aug 19 @ 10:45 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 It's an age-old fact: People fear public speaking than they do death. #INZPirED

KSThakral - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:45 PM EDT

@KaiakoWilson Agree it also depends on confidence & prep. How much rehearsal time are Ss given? Mock presentations and feedback #INZPirED

VipulaSharma1 Aug 19 @ 10:45 PM EDT

@Ajarn_Adam good idea and a great way to develop their questioning skills too #INZpirED

KaiakoWilson Aug 19 @ 10:45 PM EDT

Are teachers taking the time to allow Ss time to practice a skill and get feedback? If, say, emphasis is lacking, make it a focus. #INZpirED

rsehji - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:45 PM EDT

@KSThakral @VipulaSharma1 found some interesting rubrics online for the same. #INZpirED

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:46 PM EDT

@__jamesanderson Very true, it helps to keep a fairly humorous approach to the lesson too #INZpirED

__jamesanderson Aug 19 @ 10:46 PM EDT

@JKatzaman can't agree more! It is so important to get this skill into students because it is vital for their future #INZPirED

KaiakoWilson Aug 19 @ 10:46 PM EDT

@KSThakral Tautoko! (Agreed) #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:46 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 Yes & feedback focussing on the presentation style instead of just the content should be part of the process #INZPirED

__jamesanderson Aug 19 @ 10:46 PM EDT

@Ajarn_Adam of course! #INZPirED

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:47 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 Also it encourages Ss to listen rather than talk during others' presentations ;) #INZpirED

rsehji - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:47 PM EDT

@Ajarn_Adam @Edk8R feel sometimes I give too many options which could pose a problem, you think? #INZpirED

RewardingEdu Aug 19 @ 10:48 PM EDT

The fear factor of presenting to any audience causes many Ss to dread & avoid it at all costs. How do you all allay S fears? #INZpirED

__jamesanderson Aug 19 @ 10:48 PM EDT

@KaiakoWilson I agree! The connection is between the audience and the speaker and what is visual is that little bit extra needed #INZPirED

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:48 PM EDT

@rsehji Yep, it took ages for me to have any Ss submit a biology-based song! :) #INZpirED

KaiakoWilson Aug 19 @ 10:48 PM EDT

@rsehji @Ajarn_Adam @Edk8R Especially if most options involve new skills and learning such as recorded presentations using webcam #INZpirED

Gail_Boddy Aug 19 @ 10:49 PM EDT

Agree @VipulaSharma1 although challenging students with unfamiliar media is necessary to broaden learning #INZpirED https://t.co/UCxDBWFJz5

VipulaSharma1 Aug 19 @ 10:43 PM EDT

@__jamesanderson I think it should be a discussion between the two so that everyone is on board to meet the expectations #INZpirED

rsehji - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:49 PM EDT

@Edk8R that's fab. I teach food technology so Ss presentation incorporates creating & serving food on a regular basis #INZpirED

RewardingEdu Aug 19 @ 10:49 PM EDT

Yes, rehearsals and peer feedback before formal presentations help! #INZpirED https://t.co/2FLpKPgg37

KSThakral - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:45 PM EDT

@KaiakoWilson Agree it also depends on confidence & prep. How much rehearsal time are Ss given? Mock presentations and feedback #INZPirED

KSThakral - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:50 PM EDT

I’d add presentation skills over video conferencing. Different ball game & part of the how Ss will present in the future #INZPirED

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:50 PM EDT

@rsehji @Edk8R Sometimes when it comes to grading - can be difficult to keep track of everything! I don't do it every time #INZpirED

JKatzaman Aug 19 @ 10:50 PM EDT

Setting and encouragement are important. Ease introverts into presentations lest they get traumatized and withdraw further. #INZPirED

KaiakoWilson Aug 19 @ 10:50 PM EDT

A TEDTalk reminds us that the speaker is where the focus should be. So the default white background of PPT should be dark instead. #INZpirED

Edk8R Aug 19 @ 10:50 PM EDT

@rsehji @Ajarn_Adam Depends how experienced Ss are on presentation option- otherwise that becomes focus of learning #INZpirED

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:51 PM EDT

@RewardingEdu Keep it light-hearted - also not usually a high-stakes assignment #INZpirED

@VipulaSharma1 @KSThakral https://t.co/eER5jaycUp #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator Aug 19 @ 10:58 PM EDT

Have presenting Ss look just above the heads of the audience. To the audience, it appears as eye contact. #INZpirED https://t.co/DO5zGjkF33

KaiakoWilson Aug 19 @ 11:05 PM EDT

This term I focused on eye contact, emphasis and gesture. The latter seems to be the hardest to do (naturally). Any tips to share? #INZpirED

VipulaSharma1 Aug 19 @ 11:07 PM EDT

@KSThakral @KaiakoWilson yes good point Sunny, that is a tough one to get over #INZpirED

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Aug 19 @ 11:08 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 We were studying pandemic flu so I gave Ss choice - public health, vaccination, genetics, economic impact etc #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator Aug 19 @ 11:08 PM EDT

@JKatzaman haha - as long as they have a laugh, you might be safe - Maybe a meme should be created too #INZPirED

rsehji - Moderator Aug 19 @ 11:08 PM EDT

Thanks for sharing, Sunny. Shall check it out. #INZpirED https://t.co/IaK2puj1cB

@Ajarn_Adam I see an opp for some great role plays there #INZpirED 😀

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Aug 19 @ 11:09 PM EDT

@KSThakral @KaiakoWilson Some cultures don't encourage questioning of speakers either... #INZpirED

rsehji - Moderator Aug 19 @ 11:09 PM EDT

@danvkoch Hi Dan, welcome to #INZpirED

KaiakoWilson Aug 19 @ 11:09 PM EDT

@RewardingEdu That's a good one. I do share that. What my Ss lack is sustained eye contact. It may just take practice & confidence #INZpirED

MPatel_1 Aug 19 @ 11:10 PM EDT

Presentations for students should be an everyday thing so it doesn't catch them off guard and make then worry about their audience #INZpirED

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Aug 19 @ 11:10 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 Good idea! #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator Aug 19 @ 11:10 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 @KaiakoWilson Indeed - very slow progress at times, often getting the relevant S to be the judge & feedback helps #INZPirED

rsehji - Moderator Aug 19 @ 11:11 PM EDT

@__jamesanderson good point, James :) What do you go with, when presenting? #INZpirED

VipulaSharma1 Aug 19 @ 11:11 PM EDT

@KaiakoWilson @RewardingEdu getting them to practice in 3's might support that; 1 to give feedback, 1 talks, 1 listens, swap round #INZpirED

RewardingEdu Aug 19 @ 11:11 PM EDT

Yes b/c frankly some are boring rehashings of what has been said 100x. All Ss add something new & true! #INZpirED https://t.co/EOlpnFNolo

VipulaSharma1 Aug 19 @ 11:06 PM EDT

Getting Ss engaged with the topic is also key so that they can find their own unique angle, perspective to it too #INZPirED

Gail_Boddy Aug 19 @ 11:11 PM EDT

Hence importance of knowing the objectives of the assessment #INZpirED https://t.co/wWPEmDYEfW

MPatel_1 Aug 19 @ 11:11 PM EDT

Classroom culture does help them explore and learn things @Ajarn_Adam @KSThakral @KaiakoWilson #INZpirED

KaiakoWilson Aug 19 @ 11:12 PM EDT

Some schools do student led conferences. They present whatever they like and in groups. It's on my 'to do' list. At TCol we did it #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator Aug 19 @ 11:12 PM EDT

@Ajarn_Adam @KaiakoWilson True. Saw a docu on fake western presenters (actors as doctors) in China spouting crap & being applauded #INZPirED

VipulaSharma1 Aug 19 @ 11:12 PM EDT

@RewardingEdu talking to Ps about topic, presenting to Ps at home could support new outlooks #INZpirED

__jamesanderson Aug 19 @ 11:12 PM EDT

@rsehji when presenting I go with a style to fit my context I'm working with. Keep it original, but relatable to your contexts #INZPirED

MPatel_1 Aug 19 @ 11:13 PM EDT

Hi Ritu, I am glad I made it today @rsehji #INZpirED

rsehji - Moderator Aug 19 @ 11:13 PM EDT

@MPatel_1 That is a good point, will keep that in mind an incorporate it in my lessons on a regular basis #INZpirED Also can act as check pt

KaiakoWilson Aug 19 @ 11:14 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 @RewardingEdu Now I need some appropriate zones around my school which allow for this kind of activity, rain/shine. #INZpirED

VipulaSharma1 Aug 19 @ 11:14 PM EDT

@KaiakoWilson we ended last term with Ss voice on tech, such inspiring & confident young presenters; more of that this year #INZpirED

MPatel_1 Aug 19 @ 11:14 PM EDT

Knowing the Why always supports and enhances their learning, they learn to raise the bar for their own learning @Gail_Boddy #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator Aug 19 @ 11:14 PM EDT

@MPatel_1 @Ajarn_Adam @KaiakoWilson Yes as it is with most things - you gotta keep working at it & keep on monitoring/evaluating #INZPirED

VipulaSharma1 Aug 19 @ 11:15 PM EDT

@KaiakoWilson @RewardingEdu true, can get a little noisy! #INZpirED

RewardingEdu Aug 19 @ 11:15 PM EDT

Yes, I use Dinner Table Discussions- Ss report the responses, insights &opinions of family on class topics #INZpirED https://t.co/vPGdMVCg7m

VipulaSharma1 Aug 19 @ 11:12 PM EDT

@RewardingEdu talking to Ps about topic, presenting to Ps at home could support new outlooks #INZpirED

KaiakoWilson Aug 19 @ 11:16 PM EDT

@KSThakral @Ajarn_Adam Was the point of that to remind us to question the credibility of where we find information? #INZpirED

VipulaSharma1 Aug 19 @ 11:16 PM EDT

@MPatel_1 yes great point Minakshi. They watch Ts present all the time but need to be given opps too #INZpirED

MPatel_1 Aug 19 @ 11:17 PM EDT

I realized that more as I used #SOLE in my rooms that presentations became a everyday thing so it was their comfort zone @rsehji #INZpirED

KaiakoWilson Aug 19 @ 11:18 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 @RewardingEdu I wonder how often sharing homework/subject queries with parents happens these days? #INZpirED

kgoepenwee Aug 19 @ 11:18 PM EDT

I've used the https://t.co/lQilvg3f3u TED-Ed Clubs program.Superb resources & a global community of support. Sts love it. #INZpirED

What is #INZPirED chat?

rsehji - Moderator Aug 19 @ 11:18 PM EDT

Do share if you pick any specific online platform/digital tool for your presntation? #INZpirED I like to use @prezi https://t.co/kAEiXz3UQb

@MPatel_1 @rsehji do you have good links you'd recommend for #sole Minakshi #INZpirED

danvkoch Aug 19 @ 11:19 PM EDT

the less words you have on your slides the better. @kevinhoneycutt says, "present like you were telling a 5 year old a story." #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator Aug 19 @ 11:19 PM EDT

@KaiakoWilson @Ajarn_Adam More to do with acceptance of presenter knowledge as expertise & the need for challenge #INZPirED

@VipulaSharma1 @MPatel_1 have you looked at the @schoolincloud website and #soletoolkit ? #INZpirED

VipulaSharma1 Aug 19 @ 11:20 PM EDT

@KaiakoWilson @RewardingEdu probably not as often as they should I imagine, nature of modern life sadly #INZpirED

@sparkly_steph14 A group of teachers, students, experts around the work that meet to be #INZPirED by each other.

MPatel_1 Aug 19 @ 11:22 PM EDT

Both those are great resources @rsehji @VipulaSharma1 @schoolincloud #INZpirED

JKatzaman Aug 19 @ 11:22 PM EDT

@MPatel_1 The more routine the better. Regularity of presentations helps keep pent-up anxiety from building to petrifying levels. #INZpirED

Great one! Very timely as I am attending paper presentations now, PPT is still the go to platform here #INZpirED

It supports S ownership in their learning&release of responsibility on part of T's @VipulaSharma1 @rsehji @schoolincloud #INZpirED

In my school i use goggle slides and some Ts use @PowToon #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator Aug 19 @ 11:25 PM EDT

@rizzapiccio One of the key things coming out is - does the medium matter if the delivery takes into account the audience needs? #INZPirED

kgoepenwee Aug 19 @ 11:25 PM EDT

@Ajarn_Adam @KSThakral @KaiakoWilson First Nations Children find this difficult.Sharing circles & non-intimidating enviro vital #INZpirED

@rizzapiccio @PowToon Great tools. Have you looked into Prezi? #INZPirED

rizzapiccio Aug 19 @ 11:26 PM EDT

@KSThakral absolutely! Not all things should be presented using a PPT or any platform, audience needs should be given importance #INZpirED

No reason why all parents would not be fully informed with what goes on in school. Just ASK, interact & stay involved w/ your kid! #INZpirED
