The Digital Ambassadors CourseModule 1: Being A Strong Communicator

Demonstrating Strong Communication Skills: Final Product

At the end of this module your final task is to create a short video or video-like presentation that shows you demonstrating some of your communication skills. You should create a short video of working with someone else. You can work with another student, your teacher or team coordinator, or another adult. The video should be no longer than 5 or 6 minutes. In the video, you should demonstrate good active listening skills and questioning. It should include a greeting, a very brief explanation of some technical topic, opportunities for questions, and a closing with action steps. Include a short reflection on the skills you have demonstrated and how they make you a strong communicator. The video should be accompanied by a short follow-up email to the person you spoke with in your video showing clear organization and good professional writing.

Because the video is short, you may want to edit a longer conversation down to just the key points. A video is preferred, but there are ways to create video-like products, like a narrated PowerPoint or Google Slides presentation.

Option for the teacher/coordinator

Students could conduct the conversations in person with the teacher/coordinator observing. Following the conversation, the teacher can ask about different strategies used during the conversation and how they modeled a purposeful conversation. Questions by the teacher should encourage the student to reflect on their communication skills and how they might have grown and those that are still working on, if any.
