Assignment 4: Presentation of the Project

Due Week 9 and worth 230 points

Refer to both the Overall Concept for Assignments 1-4 especially using Screenr in Assignment 4 and your responses from Assignments 1 through 3 in order to complete this assignment.

Create a presentation in which you present your research on a particular emerging technology and the methodology used to ascertain its appropriateness for your educational setting. Use Screenr to produce a video screencast which illustrates your use of the selected emerging tool.

Following is a list of resources for presentation software. Be aware that while presentation software may have a free trial, some may require a credit card and cancellation after the free trial period. Some free software may have limited images, layouts, templates, and options. Check any system requirements for the software to ensure your computer is ready.

Project Presentation

Overall presentation style and structure

1. Present your findings using presentation software with at least ten (10) main topics / slides in your presentation.

2. Include a title slide and references section. (These two [2] slides are not part of the ten [10] slide requirement).

3. Develop a creative, appealing presentation for a professional audience, using two to three (2-3) colors and two to three (2-3) visuals in your presentation.

4. Provide coherent, clear, organized, and substantive content that can be easily understood by the audience.

5. Provide audio narration of the presentation slides as if you were delivering the speech. (Note: If you do not have access to a microphone, then you should provide detailed speaker notes with your presentation.)

6. Create a section of the presentation (five [5] slides) in which you:

a. Provide a high-level introduction to your final project, using either a concept map or other organizing element.

b. Introduce the emerging technology, the educational setting in which the technology would be used, and aspects of the scenario into which you propose introducing an emerging technology.

c. Provide at least one (1) Website link to the source of information on the emerging technology.

d. Briefly discuss the comparative study of the selected emerging technology and similar existing technologies. Conclude with the main reason why the selected technology is most appropriate for your endeavor.

7. Create a video screencast (five [5] minutes or less) using Screenr, the ASSURE model, and Assignment 3 to demonstrate the appropriateness of your chosen emerging technology for your particular context. You will:

a. Demonstrate clearly the appropriateness of the emerging technology at each aspect of the ASSURE model.

b. Name your screencast by typing FirstName_LastName_Assignment4 in the “Describe your screencast” field (e.g., John_Doe_Assignment4).

c. Publish a working and accessible link to your Screenr video, and insert the link into your presentation.

8. Create a section of the presentation (five [5] slides) for reflection in which you:

a. Provide your personal reflection, highlighting what you learned from researching this emerging technology and developing the project.

b. Discuss your personal observations of the technology and its potential applicability in an actual work or school setting beyond the one you explored within your project.

c. Discuss supporting research from at least five (5) peer-reviewed references, published in the last five (5) years.

9. Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:

a. Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.

b. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.

10. Include a reference page. Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.

Directions for submitting your presentation:

· Submit your presentation to the area designated by your professor.

· Review at least two (2) other classmates’ presentations and post a response indicating what you learned by identifying two (2) specific points that your classmates made in the presentation.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

· Review current research related to emerging technologies for instruction and learning.Apply education principles and / or the ASSURE model to the design and evaluation of new technologies. Recommend reasons and methods for using visualization tools for teaching and learning.

· Use technology and information resources to research issues in designing, developing, and evaluating educational technologies.

· Write clearly and concisely about issues in designing, developing, and evaluating educational technologies.

Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic / organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using the following rubric.

Points: 230
