Creating a Presentation with Voice

Objectives & Learning

Outcomes

Students will:
Incorporate digital and verbal feedback from their lab
report
Create a Google Slides Presentation
Receive feedback on their presentation
Present their lab report on the digital application
Voicethread

Rationale

Students have had experience creating a digital presentation with

a team, but not individually. Students will utilize the digital
application Voicethread to create an individual digital
presentation that they can publish to a larger audience. The
literature has shown that students have more motivation when
they know that they will publish to a larger audience.

4 Cs Addressed

Critical Thinking:
Students think critically when choosing how to present
their lab write up.
Collaboration:
Students collaborate with their teacher regarding digital
and verbal feedback from their previous lab report.
Communication:
Students practice written communication through the
creation of Google Slides.
Students practice oral communication through the creation
of Voicethread.
Students may choose to communicate with a larger
audience by sharing the Voicethread link with their
parents.
Creativity:
Students are given the platform to be as creative as they
choose while still including all elements of the lab report
and explaining them in their own way.
