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

4. 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)
