This session focuses on digital storytelling through presenting, where pupils communicate stories or information to an audience in real time, using digital tools as supportive aids rather than standalone products. Presenting emphasises the role of the speaker, with slides, visuals, audio, or short video clips used to enhance explanation, engagement, and audience understanding.
Using Just2easy tools, teachers will examine progression in presenting skills, from simple visual prompts and recorded narration to more structured presentations that combine text, images, audio, or animations. Practical examples will demonstrate how digital presenting can be embedded across the curriculum to support literacy, pupil voice, and confident communication.
The session will explore how presenting activities support the:
Northern Ireland ICT Desirable Features, helping pupils develop confidence and clarity in communicating their ideas and learning using digital tools across the curriculum
Welsh Digital Competence Framework (DCF), particularly within the Communication, Creativity, and Citizenship strands of Curriculum for Wales
Scottish Curriculum for Excellence Technologies and Literacy experiences and outcomes
