INTEGRATION IDEA - PRESENTATION

How might you use this resource in a lesson plan to promote students’ presentation/speaking/communication skills?

This resource would enhance a student’s presentation skills by teaching them how to interact with their audience and keeping
their audience actively engaged. Students would also learn how to collect live feedback from their audience through the activities
offered on Nearpod. Students also have more options on how they wish to present their topic by having it be interactive with the
audience. Likewise, the audience could better understand the presentation if they can see it on their personal devices.
