Speech is basically a public speaking course.
I usually spend the first week or so on how to avoid being nervous. After that, we work on organization and presentation skills.
Speech is a fun class; especially if everyone participates. As a teacher, it gets tough when a student has such terrible anxiety that they can't get up in front of the class to deliver their speech.
We don't do much with multi-media. I ask my students to do an Informative Speech and for that they must use a visual aid (a diagram, picture, graph, . . .). I suppose someone could use powerpoint as their visual aid. Our school does have a computer class that focuses on powerpoint. In that class, the students have to give a powerpoint presentation.
