Effective presentations will include a slide or two that discusses the rationale for using
technology in your teaching topic. In other words, why does it make sense to incorporate
various uses of technology into your particular topic? What is gained by integrating
technology into your teaching of this topic? Include a slide of a video of yourself
reading the statement of rationale. Use a google based tool to do this.

taken. Use links in your text and put complete url’s in the notes section of
your slide. See notes view below.

9. Images from the Internet
Effective presentations will include locating at least one of each of the
following from the Internet that are related to your teaching topic, as well as

Effective presentations will include at least four different teaching materials that
were found at and/or created through at least two different websites. Materials
should be varied and interactive(i.e., a worksheet, a story, a word-search, etc.)
and should clearly support your teaching topic. Another might be a link to a site
that describes just the perfect app that relates in some way to your topic. A fourth

13. Web 2.0 Uses of the Internet
Effective presentation will include at least one or two sites that are considered to be examples of how the
internet allows (think teachers as well as students) to collaborate around various issues. Be sure to include a
good description of how these sites would enhance participation on the part of your students on this topic. The
presentation is shared with a larger community by posting it for all to see on Slideshare and including the link
to your presentation on that site on one of your slides. Who will get the most views?

14. Use and Design of Presentation
Effective presentations will work – that is, links will take users to specified websites,
images and/or video. Clips will open and/or appear, and the presentation will
transition from one slide to the next without too many distracting transitions. In
addition, effective presentations will reflect the principles of good design.

15. Rubrics
Create a simple rubric you might use to assess the understanding of your students
on your topic.
