Issues and Trends

 Issues and Trends Presentation Instructions 

• First, select a topic. The topic can be a current issue in education, a classroom challenge (ex. lack of motivation), or simply a topic in education that you want to learn more about.
• Next, research that topic. You must find and use at least three sources for your presentation. Each source should add something new to your understanding of the topic.
• Once you have a good understanding of the topic, you can create the PowerPoint presentation.
  • The presentation should be visually appealing and easy to follow. Do not overcrowd the slides.
  • Your presentation should be well-rounded and provide a full overview of the topic and what you learned. Make sure that the topic is narrow enough that you could provide an overview in the allotted number of slides. The research that you did should drive the presentation.
  • You should provide additional details in the notes section. These notes should be written as if you could use them as a script for a live presentation. They will be much more detailed than what is on the slides.
  • The content on your slides and in your notes should all be written at a graduate level.
