As the school year winds down, tests and final projects are looming. Class presentations can be a great way for students to synthesize knowledge, practice public speaking, and interact with their classmates. However, standing up and speaking in front of peers can be nerve-racking, and presentations can become repetitive. Multimedia tools can reduce student anxiety by encouraging a creative approach that builds design and tech skills, turning intimidating assignments into fun experiences. Here are five top picks for presentation tools that can enhance student projects:
- Shadow Puppet Edu: Create video slideshows with narration and images from various libraries.
- Screencastify: Record screens and voice for presentations, ideal for demonstrating learning.
- Office Sway: A platform for creating graphics and web stories, perfect for digital portfolios.
- Adobe Spark: Offers templates for collages, web stories, and videos to showcase research.
- Clips: An iOS app for video creation with effects and audio layering, great for creative presentations.
