Use TechnoPresenter public speaking lessons to integrate research and technology skills. An inquiry-based approach is used to formulate and investigate a question. The topic is researched and facts are organized in a bulleted list and table. To prepare for public speaking, students follow instructions to write a set of notes that accompany each slide. Upon completion, findings are communicated to an audience in an oral presentation. Additional teaching ideas explain how to collaborate with a partner, insert a video, create a graphic organizer, or animate text.

Elementary or middle school students formulate and investigate a question, research and organize facts, and create an informative graphic presentation using themes, layouts, bullets, tables, pictures, and speaker notes. - Transform Your Stem Teaching
Simple-to-use resources include a Teacher Guide with ideas for technology integration, assessment tools (checklists, skills summary, rubric), parent letter, and certificate. Student Workbook with step-by-step instructions for print or digital use. Sample slide shows on a diverse collection of topics are included to spark student interest. - Student-Centric Lessons
Activities scaffold student learning, starting with a self-reflection about public speaking readiness, studying samples critically with guiding questions, and learning presentation skills to create and enhance slides for maximum audience appeal. Students rehearse using speaker notes. When ready, they communicate the results to their peers and seek feedback. - Tips, Tricks, and Hacks
Optional challenges offer strategies for a presentation with impact: body language skits to practice, small group rehearsals, collaborative strategies, embed a video or create a graphic organizer, and how to share the presentation as a link with opportunities for peer comments.
