Presentation |
You will give a formal presentation of 4 to 5 minutes based on your proposal. In that presentation, you will provide the background information or context needed for the audience to understand your proposal and why it is important. You will explain the problem that your proposal addresses. You also will need to explain the benefits of adopting your proposal—and the negative consequences of rejecting it. You will need to use some form of media (such as PowerPoint or Apple’s Keynote) to display graphics and data that support your presentation. Use Jing to record a screencast of your presentation with your voiceover, and upload your screencast to Screencast.com or to your YouTube channel. (Jing allows you to record presentations of no more than 5 minutes in length.) Then post a link to your screencast in the Presentation discussion in Canvas.Watch and respond to at least two of your classmates’ screencasts in the Presentation discussion. Your Presentation is worth 75 points.
