Group Presentation Assignment

EDUC 1300

Directions: Every student in this EDUC 1300 class will be assigned to a group. All members of each group must agree on the topic and the ten minute electronic visual presentation that will be presented during class time, the last week of class.

Each group member is required to contribute equal amounts of work and, participate during the oral presentation. Trello, or Google Docs may be used to share information within the group during the creation of the presentation.

Each group will use current technology for the presentation for example, PowerPoint, Sway, Prezi, or Glogster EDUC, (use only the free educational sites). Presentations must have these primary components: well organized content from credible sources on slides and effective, powerful visual aids (photos and videos)

Slide Tips

• Present the information in a clear and logical sequence. • Create at least 10 slides, but no more than 20 (including the title and

references slides). • Avoid typing or placing too much text on each slide. “Less is often more.” • Include several visual images to support your points. For each image, cite

the source of the image directly on the slide it appears, as well as on the References slide. (Optional: you may include one brief video clip to support your topic. If choosing this option, limit the video to 4 minutes or less.

• End with a References slide that includes all of your sources, including image sources.

Determine group rules and roles (My suggestions)
