Josh's presentation about social media was unbelievably fantastic. Our students learned so much about what kids should and shouldn't be doing. The fact that it is such a thoughtful process made it all worthwhile.

Student presentation ideas:

  • Create a presentation of your resume and walk people through your experience and education
  • Presenting your resume is a great way to use visuals to tell your story for the college admissions process, internships, and summer jobs
  • Showcase your progress in a hobby and share what you’ve learned along the way. Some examples are:
  • Art
  • Sports
  • Dance
  • Programming
  • Music
  • etc...
  • Teach others something you are knowledgeable about like playing an instrument or speaking a second language
  • If you’ve volunteered recently, share your experience and thank the organization you worked with

What can parents do?

  • When you’re ready for your student to be online, encourage them to use apps and websites like Prezi that positively impact their digital footprint
  • Teach your children to keep all of their online content Light, Bright & Polite™
  • Remind your student that all of their presentations are public and can be found online
  • Have a discussion with your student and help them determine what kind of presentations they should create to help them shine online
