Data Visualization Ideas to Help Students Present Overwhelming Amounts of Data in Creative Ways

Data visualization is all about using visuals to make sense of data. Students need to pull the main points from their extensive research, and present them by story telling while being mindful of their classmates’ collective attention span.

As far as student assignments go, storytelling with data is a daunting task for students and teachers alike. To keep your audience interested, consider using a non linear presentation that presents key concepts in creative ways.

Inspire your class to be master data storytellers with the following data visualization ideas:

44. Are we slowly losing the Borneo rainforest?

Presentation Topic Ideas to Help Students Prepare for Life After School

One of the things that makes teaching a rewarding career is seeing your students take the learning and knowledge you’ve instilled in them, and become successful, productive adults.

From pitching a business idea to starting your podcast, the following topics are good starting points to prepare students for the challenges after graduation (aka adulting 101):

67. How to make a resume

68. How to start a startup

69. Credit card vs. debit card

70. Pros and cons of cryptocurrency

71. How to save on travel

72. How to do a SWOT analysis

74. Habits of successful people

75. Starting your own podcast: A checklist

Find out how a high school teacher like Jamie Barkin uses Piktochart to improve learning in the classroom for her students.

Pro tip: make your presentation as interactive as possible. Students have an attention span of two to three minutes per year of age. To keep minds from wandering off, include some interactive games or activities in the lesson. For example, if you conducted a lesson on the respiratory system, you could ask them to practice breathing techniques.

Maintain eye contact with your students, and you’ll get instant feedback on how interested they are in the interactive presentation.

Make School Presentation Visuals Without the Hassle of Making Them From Scratch

School presentations, when done right, can help teachers engage their classes and improve students’ education effectively by presenting information using the right presentation topic. 

If you’re pressed for time and resources to make your school presentation visuals , choose a template from Piktochart’s template gallery . Aside from the easy customization options, you can also print and download these templates to your preferred format. 

Piktochart also professional templates to create infographics , posters , brochures , reports , and more.

Creating school-focused, engaging, and interactive presentations can be tedious at first, but with a little bit of research and Piktochart’s handy templates, you’re going to do a great job!

Back to School Night Presentation

Does Back to School Night scare you? For me, talking in front of a roomful of adults is completely different than a roomful of seven-year-olds! Give me 22 kids versus 22 adults any day. If the Back-to-School Open House makes you nervous, then let’s get that fixed.

There’s so much going on during the back-to-school season and so much to prep for that Back to School Night. You’ve spent so much time already setting up your classroom and prepping everything for the first week (or maybe just the first day!) that the open house presentation for the parents might fall till the very last minute…

That’s why I needed something quick and easy for me to prep yet professional. I use my Open House Presentation slides to help me stay focused during my parent presentation and to make sure I got all the information I needed to the parents. It is such a great visual for parents as you’re talking and giving out so much information.

Focus on Important Information

This is the time to share with parents what they need to know for the school year. If you have back to school night, then you need to keep it short, sweet and to the point. Here is my top 10 most important to share during my presentation:

• Introduce yourself and give your educational and experience background
• Talk about what your students will learn (curriculum)
• Share anything that is unique in your classroom (like flexible seating)
• Technology in the classroom
• Classwork and homework expectations
• Parent communication (newsletter)
• Field Trips
• Parent Volunteers
• Your contact information & question/answer time

You can most definitely provide more information later in an email or PDF you will send out or put on your class Learning Management System (like Canvas, class website, or Google Classroom). In fact, parents appreciate not being too overwhelmed when they leave your classroom. That is not the goal! Only give the very important information during your open house, but include more details in your Parent Information Brochure .

Display Visuals and Video

A picture is worth a thousand words (and parents’ questions!) Whenever you can, add a picture to help the parents visually understand. When you’re talking about how you do homework, you can show a picture of what your homework folder looks like, for example. And if you really want to get fancy- you can do videos to explain each part so that parents can reference your video explanations.

If you don’t have a Back to School Night or it’s too short to have a parent presentation, adding videos will definitely give parents that personal touch. It’ll be so much easier for them to understand more about your classroom if you’re speaking to them like you’re there in front of them. You can also write a brief summary on the same slide.

Why Google Slides?

Google Slides makes it so easy! Since it’s in my Drive, I can easily work on it at school and at home. And once it’s done, it’s done. I’ll just have to tweak it a bit every year with my new schedule and any new schoolwide information. That’s a win-win for me!

Google Slides makes it so easy to send to parents too. You can add the share link to an email or your school’s LMS (like Google Classroom or Canvas). Just make sure the share settings are set to View Only (you don’t want parents editing your work!). You can send this out specifically to those parents who weren’t able to make it to Back to School Night.

You can also save the slides as a PDF right from Google slides- which is awesome! And you don’t have to worry about share settings. I have a Parent Resources button on my Class Canvas page where I put this PDF link for parents to reference. It becomes the perfect place where parents can access this info without having to remember where they put all the papers for all their children.

I hope this helps ease your nerves when it comes to Back to School night and the parent presentation!

I’m Katie, a teacher just like you!

And just like you, I love giving my students engaging activities  to promote learning at the highest levels. My passion is growing and developing all my students using best practices. 

And, I am here to help and empower you as the teacher. My desire is to equip you with strategies and helpful classroom management tips to make your teaching and your classroom the best they can be!

Parenting doesn’t come with a manual. There are many questions parents have about raising children, and while it is true that they learn how to be better parents on the go, as a qualified expert you can give them a hand. The Parents & Kids Presentation Template is ideal for psychologists, counselors, educators, and pediatricians who are looking to give parents and families professional advice on how to raise happy kids in a modern world.

Understanding kids .

Kids grow up fast and each stage of childhood comes with different needs and challenges. How do parents cope with all these changes in such a short amount of time? In this slide, you will be able to show the phases every child goes through and give the parents tools to understand their children better. 

Kids and The Environment

It’s important to teach the next generation how to take care of the environment. Schools everywhere are implementing programs and including lessons to teach children more about this topic but the first step must be taken at home. Use this slide to explain good environmental practices parents can do with their kids at home.

Kids Behavior Slides

When kids are little, it is difficult for them to express their feelings. Because of that, many kids scream, cry or act rude when there is not an apparent reason. Part of understanding children's behavior is paying attention to these attitudes, even the slightest change communicates something. With this slide, you can teach parents how to keep a record of the behavior of their little kids and identify when it’s time to go with a specialist.

Kids hobbies

It is important to support the interests of kids. They are exploring the world and finding out what they like and dislike.

Illustrations

The Parents & Kids Presentation Template comes with amazing vector illustrations of families spending time together. These are the best visuals you will find to talk about parenting.

Is your company celebrating family day? Organize a workshop where employees who have kids can share their experiences as parents.

8 Tips to Power-Up Your Classroom Presentations

Last month, I attended a Back to School Night for parents, sitting through presentation after presentation by teachers, some with slides that helped make their presentation a delight to listen to, and others . . . well, that's why I'm writing this blog post.

The goal of a classroom presentation is to aid you in effectively conveying information in a way that allows students (or their parents) to remember what you said. Unfortunately, for some, the presentation becomes a crutch, and they begin to rely on the slides to tell their story, rather than to help them tell the story.

I've been creating presentations using software like PowerPoint and KeyNote for 20 years, and I've learned a lot about how to most effectively communicate. Here's what I've found.

1. Use as Many Slides as You Need

It's a common myth that better presentations use fewer slides. This is simply not the case. I once sent an education conference presentation to the organizers so they could preview it in advance of my speaking. They wrote back, concerned that my 45-minute presentation had 116 slides. I looked it over and realized they were right! I revised it and sent a presentation with 135 slides back to them. I finished my talk with 5 minutes to spare -- just enough time to take questions -- and the presentation was a huge success.

The number of slides in your presentation is irrelevant. What matters is how well your slides communicate and how much time you spend talking about each slide. Spending five minutes on five slides will almost always be more engaging to your students than spending five minutes on a single slide, even when the information is exactly the same.

In the movie Amadeus , the Emperor of Austria complains to Mozart that his music has "too many notes." Mozart responds, "There are just as many notes as are required. Neither more nor less." Use as many slides as you need to make your point. No more. No less.

2. Minimize Verbosity

Your slides are there to support what you are saying, not to say it for you. Keep your word count low, and only place one main point on a slide, plus three to five sub-points if absolutely needed. Remember tip #1 above -- don't be afraid to use more slides. They're free! Also, the language in your slides doesn't need to be in complete sentences. Pare the text to as few words as possible, using what's there only to emphasize and reinforce -- not replace -- the words coming out of your mouth.

3. Maximize Visuals

Photos, figures and icons work as visual memory triggers. They help your students remember what it is you're saying. Any time you can add a visual that helps illustrate or reinforce the points you're making in your slides, you should use it. One great way to do this on the cheap is to use public domain or creative commons photos you can find on Flickr or Google .

4. Reduce Noise

Many teachers like to add banners, headers, footers, page numbers and more noise to their slides. Unless the information needs to be on every slide for a vital reason (which is rare), you should remove it. All these redundant elements do is create distractions from the content of your slides. I find this to be especially true of page numbers. Imagine if a movie included a time code at the bottom, constantly reminding you how long you had been watching. All this does is serve to take the viewer out of the moment. Page numbers in slides really don't provide any useful information -- they just remind your students how long they've been watching.

Pursuant to tips #1 and #2, you're not going to win awards by cramming the most content on the fewest slides. Make text and visuals as large as you can. Not only does this make them easier to see and read, but larger images and text make a greater impact to aid memory. There's nothing wrong with filling an entire slide with a photo, and then placing text right on top. You may have to use a transparent background immediately behind the text so that it's clearly readable, but the overall effect is almost always more memorable than just some text beside an image.

6. Highlight What You Are Talking About

While you are presenting, your students may be momentarily distracted taking notes, thinking about what you are saying, glancing out the window, possibly even daydreaming. When they refocus on your slides, though, they need to quickly pick back up where you are, or you risk losing them again.

• Use contrast or call-outs to clearly show the area of the slide you are talking about.
• Reveal bullet points or table rows one at a time so that the last one visible is the one you are talking about.
• Use arrows, circles or other pointers to show what you are referencing in specific parts of an illustration, photo or graph.
• Animate and reveal parts of illustrations and graphs (where possible) to build your story rather than showing everything at once.
• Use bold type or different colors to highlight the keywords in any lengthy text.

7. Transition Changes

Humans suffer from an affliction called change blindness -- we have a hard time seeing changes unless there is a clear transition between the states. This is especially a problem in presentations where slides may look very much alike. Most programs include transitions that can be used between slides or on elements in the slides themselves.

My favorite transition is the cross-dissolve -- where the first slide fades down while the next slide fades up -- but different transitions can help illustrate points in your presentation. Are you talking about combustion or the fire of London? Use a flame transition. Talking about photography or Hollywood movies? Use the flashbulb transition. Even "cheesy" transitions help overcome change blindness and aid student memory at the same time.

8. Repeat Yourself Redundantly

It’s OK to repeat the same slide more than once -- especially when using images -- if you are reminding students of an earlier point. Obviously, this is not a license to be monotonous. However, if you want to tie separate ideas together, emphasize a point or splash in a little comic relief, it's perfectly fine to repeat a slide.

Bonus Tip: Make it Funny!

There's little doubt that emotional responses can aid memory. While it can be difficult to apply this power in a classroom slide presentation, humor is easy enough, and adding a bit of levity to your presentations at the right points can work to give students vital memory hooks.

Remember, the point of presentation slides is not to replace you as the teacher, but to help your students understand and remember what you are teaching. Overwhelming them with too much information can be just as harmful as underwhelming them with too little.
