The High Tech Road to Making an Oral Report.
Wirths, Claudine G.; Bowman-Kruhm, Mary
Using the "3 R's of Reporting" (Research, Reinforce, Rehearse) provides the process secondary students need to overcome their fear of making oral presentations. Much of this anxiety can be reduced by teaching students to use electronic supports for the research, preparation, and delivery of oral reports. Online bulletin board systems, electronic mail, and the telephone are three nonprint sources that students can use during their research for their reports. Students can also use "reinforcers"--props that give substantive support to the oral presentation. Examples of reinforcers include computer-generated time banners, post cards, and book marks. For the third R (Rehearse), students can use camcorders to rehearse their presentation, helping them avoid mannerisms; practice giving out the reinforcers; and learn what to do when they make a slip. (An appendix presents an outline and brief description of the 3 R's of Reporting.) (RS)
