Speaker 1: Hello teachers, this is Ricardo and today I want to introduce you to a new learning accelerator by Microsoft. Yes, Speaker Progress. This is going to help our students develop confidence in their presentation skills and also is going to help them reduce anxiety when they speak because it uses AI power tools to give real-time coaching and feedback about their public speaking. They'll let them know about their pace, their pitch, filler words like uh-uh and more. This can also save us educators a lot of time and create more opportunities for our students to practice speaking for class presentations. So let me go ahead and show you how this works. We are very lucky because we actually have the ability to use this learning accelerator via Canvas. The ability for us to come inside of our Canvas and go in and say that I want to create a Teams assignment. You can do this from modules or from assignments. So I'm going to go to Teams assignments and when I go in there it's going to look for my Teams. There's other video that will show you how to roster your team. This is already done for me. Let's go ahead and create. Once we are here we're going to pick assignments from existing or quiz or other options. So just assignments. So let's go ahead and give it a name. Instructions. Introduce yourself in a two-minute video. Notice that I can actually use AI in here at Spark or at Steps in here. So I want a learning accelerator. Speaker Progress. So turn on speaker coach settings to customize your students report. So I do want to turn that on. So I want to do speaker progress as my assignment. Right now it's available in English but we'll have more language next time. I'm going to give him two attempts. Two minutes but it's completely up to you. Require video. Release rehearsal report. So I want to give him that report and I want to check for pace. Filler words. Pitch. Pronunciation. Content inclusiveness. That's pretty big for me. Repetitive language and also body language because it's going to be able to see that. So I have all that set up. Now I'm going to go next. I want to give a point. If I want this to go into Canvas I need to add points. And if you want to add a reflect check-in you can do that. And I'm going to assign. This is going to be due for us. Let's do it this Friday. You're going to notice that that assignment that I created is going to show up right here. There it is. Speaker Progress. So I'm just going to link it. And now that assignment is going to be available inside of my Canvas. If I go down it's going to be somewhere in here. How are you creating assignments? And it's going to be available. So now let's look at what it looks like from our students point of view. Our students are going to come in here and they're going to go to their class. And once they have it open and you can say open in Teams for me. So here's the assignment that we created. Let's go ahead and open in Teams. Just the assignment. I'm going to click Speaker Progress. The first time you do this it might ask you to turn the camera on. So notice how it said allow. So I'm going to allow my microphone and my camera. So Speaker Progress is going to open. And you can say start. And as our students start speaking notice it says welcome to Speaker Progress. And if I start saying um, um, um. Avoid fillers such as um. Try varying your pitch. Monotone pitch. Over, over, over, over, over. It's going to actually notice that when I get my report. My name is Ricardo Recinos and I was born in El Salvador. I came to the US. Notice that it's telling me to move closer to the screen. Back in 1988 I moved to East Los Angeles. And as I continue recording I'm going to go through my two minutes. And when I think I'm done I'm going to say that I'm done. So I can actually pre-play it. If I like it I can send it in. Or I can try again. But notice that our students already have feedback right here. So I can go in here and see view my report. Your pace. 138 words per minute. So your pace is just right. Even though I was speaking really fast remember. Body language. Okay. Pitch was okay. Inclusiveness. No sensitive phrases. Body language. I moved too far. Repetitive language. So I said really four times. And you know I'd say that a lot right. I also said um four times. Try pausing and taking a breath instead of using those filler words. Pronunciation. Indiscreet pronunciation can cause problems. And notice that I was speaking really fast. So it gave me that particular feedback too. So I'm going to go ahead and close this. So I'm all in. And I'm going to turn it in. And now I want you to see what it's going to look like from the teacher's point of view now. My speaker progress is right here. So I'm going to open it. And notice that I'm going to be able to see when I go and look at this particular student. The video that she recorded. Also with the feedback that was given to her. I can come in here and enter more feedback if I want to. And give points so that it goes to Canvas. So that now I can actually sync my grades between Canvas and Aries from a team's assignment. And again this is basically speaker progress. It is a great tool. And we can't wait for you to try it with your students. So you can help them practice public speaking. If you have any questions please let us know. Have a great day.
