KnightEDTalksShowcaseProgram.pdfWhat does it mean to present at the KnightEd Talks Student Showcase?
The showcase invites keynote speakers but is primarily run by UCF student presenters. UCF students submit a basic proposal explaining the topic they want to share. Each presenter has 30 minutes to share a topic they are passionate about and believe other future teachers (their peers) should know. Attendees of the showcase are primarily UCF college students and faculty.
It's great practice for your profession and looks stellar on a resume!
Why should I become a Presenter?
Believe it or not, you have an incredible repertoire of knowledge and experience just waiting to be shared with your peers. Whether it's advice, experiences while working with students, personal experiences when you were a student, activities & games, or even a short presentation on a teaching technique you learned, this is a great opportunity for both the PRESENTERS and the ATTENDEES.
As a presenter, you are demonstrating leadership skills relevant to your career. As an attendee, you are demonstrating your dedication to the education profession through learning opportunities.
I have an idea, but I'm not certain it's presentation-ready yet.
