THIS IS AN EARLY START SO WE CAN GET THROUGH EVERYONE’S PRESENTATIONS
Hey folks...if you have not confirmed your topic with me, you must prior to starting on it.
This is what you'll do and how I will be grading.
Choose a topic related to digital arts/digital media culture
I must approve it
give a 10-15 minute presentation on it using the teacher's station in the lab
make a handout for students about your topic, hand it out prior to your presentation
presentation must include images or video/sound
do not read text from slides
attribute anything you quote/take/refer to
I will be grading you on: the relevancy of your topic; how much information and original interpretation your presentation has; your handout (how effective it is); and how organized your presentation is.
GOOD LUCK !!!!!
