Provide context to your topic

When conducting a presentation, two objectives must be pursued: transmitting information and avoiding yawns. To achieve this, it can be good practice to create an outline and use words and concepts that aid in content assimilation. If you want to provide additional information or develop the content in more detail, you can do so through your oral exposition.

We recommend that you train your voice and rehearse:The best improvisation is always the most rehearsed!Showing enthusiasm, smiling, and maintaining eye contact with the rest of the people in the classroom can be your best allies when presenting content and creating motivating learning experiences.

Present your genially with calm and conciseness. Summarize the content.
