What is Volunteering?

School volunteering refers to the act of giving time, skills, and energy to support the school community, students, and staff, without expecting payment or personal gain. School volunteering can take many forms. It's imporrtant that parents volunteer not only to see and meet your child's teacher, but. to also model how school, social, and education are vital in one's life.

Write a great headline

Your content captivates if it's interactive

When you give a boring presentation, you only hear the snores of your audience and there's so much text that there's no room for an image.

A presentation is NOT WOW when it's boring and you see drowsiness taking over your audience because no one has understood anything.

When you give a WOW presentation, you turn interactivity and animation into allies and only hear applause.

Conclusions

When carrying out a presentation, two objectives must be pursued: conveying information and avoiding yawns. For this, it can be a good practice to create a scheme and use words that are etched into the brain of your audience.

With Genially templates, you can include visual resources to leave your audience open-mouthed. You can also highlight a specific phrase or data that is etched into the memory of your audience and even embed external content that surprises: videos, photos, audios... Whatever you want!

Module 3. Summary

Demonstrate enthusiasm, sketch a smile, and maintain eye contact with your audience can be your best allies when it comes to telling stories that excite and arouse the interest of the audience: 'The eyes, chico. They never lie'. This will help you make a 'match' with your audience. Leave them open-mouthed!

With Genially templates, you can include visual resources to leave your audience amazed. Also, highlight a specific phrase or data that remains firmly in the memory of your audience and even embed external content that surprises: videos, photos, audios... Whatever you want!

Visual communication is key

It's easy

You can also highlight a specific phrase or fact that will be etched in your audience's memory and even embed external content that surprises: videos, photos, audios... Whatever you want! Showing enthusiasm, drawing a smile, and maintaining eye contact with your audience can be your best allies when telling stories that excite and pique the audience's interest: 'The eyes, chico. They never lie'. This will help you 'match' with your audience. Leave them speechless! Pose a dramatic question; it is the essential ingredient to maintain the audience's attention. It is usually posed subtly at the beginning of the story to intrigue the audience and is resolved at the end.
