Expertise Sharing Project - Power Point with Notes - A + Work Required - 40 Hours

· Introductory Slide—An introductory slide with the topic, your name, course number, and date.

· Definitions Slide(s)—Slide(s) that give a definition of the topic and definitions of specific terms that will be used. Remember that all information from outside sources must be cited within your PowerPoint presentation per the APA guidelines.

· Importance of the Topic to Education—Slide(s) that explain(s) why the topic is important to education today.

· Details Related to Topic—Slides that explain and give examples of details related to the chosen topic for this project.

· Reference Slides—Comprehensive reference list in APA style. All references must have corresponding citations within the body of the presentation where information was used from the text and other research material.

Things to Remember:

1) Locate at least five (5) scholarly references (such as other texts or articles from a university library database). The course textbook counts as one extra reference.

2) Make sure to include citations for the information from scholarly references used in your presentation. References in your reference list must correspond to the citations in your presentation and vice-versa.

3) Use the powerful tools in PowerPoint to make your presentation attractive, organized, and easy to follow. Do not use hyperlinks to internet sites in your presentation.

4) You must include a relevant graphic (include citation/reference) on each content slide (not Introductory or Reference slides), and the background must be visually appealing—you cannot use just black text on a plain white background.
