In today's society, strong communication skills have become a crucial indicator of a student's overall well-being. Whether in classroom speeches, group presentations, or future job applications and workplace communications, expressing ideas clearly, confidently, and logically is an essential skill. To more effectively cultivate students' language organization, on-the-spot reaction, and public expression skills, more and more schools are introducing smart whiteboards as auxiliary tools to facilitate efficient speech and defense training.
A New Path to Expressive Skills Training
Traditional speech training is often limited to "standing up and speaking," lacking visual support and interactive feedback, making the content boring and ineffective. With the help of smart whiteboards, students can clearly display their ideas, logical structure, key data, charts, and even videos on the screen, achieving a dual output of content and expression.
Through whiteboard-based speech and defense training, students not only learn to speak clearly, but also master the skills of presenting with evidence and presentation.
Several advantages of whiteboards for presentation training:
Clear structure and visual thinking
When preparing a speech, students can use a whiteboard to organize their speech outline, create mind maps, or create keyword cards to help them clarify their logical structure and improve their coherence.
Integrating images and text enhances persuasiveness
By inserting multimedia resources like images, charts, and animations on a whiteboard, students can more intuitively explain concepts and present their ideas, enhancing audience understanding and interest.
Real-time annotation and interactive feedback
During presentation training, students can write responses and highlight key points to questions from judges or peers, enhancing their on-the-spot reaction and communication skills.
Diverse presentations improve presentation skills
The whiteboard's presentation function simulates real-life presentation scenarios, allowing students to gradually overcome nervousness and hone comprehensive presentation skills such as body language, speech control, and audience interaction.
Reviewable, evaluable, and adaptable
Presentations can be recorded and saved for post-class review and evaluation, allowing teachers and students to continuously optimize content and performance, creating a positive growth cycle.
Case Study: Revitalizing Classroom Presentations
In a "Thematic Speech Training" class at a middle school, teachers guided students to deliver a three-minute speech on the theme "My Ideal Career." Each student used a whiteboard to present their career research results, job skills analysis, and career development plan. This not only strengthened students' information integration and presentation skills but also helped them build self-awareness. Afterward, teachers and students reviewed the video recordings, highlighting key strengths and areas for improvement, achieving significant results.
Technology Empowers Literacy, Moving Toward Future Education
Expressive expression is not only a goal of language instruction but also a core competency for the future. The introduction of smart whiteboards has not only improved students' presentation quality but also reshaped the approach to expression training. They encourage students to continuously "think" while speaking and "practice" while performing, truly shifting from passive acceptance to active expression.
In today's rapidly developing information-based education, integrating "expressiveness" and "expressiveness" is a shared goal for all educators and educational technology companies. We believe that through the organic combination of intelligent tools and scientific methods, students will walk into the podium more confidently and face the future more calmly.
