__Groups__
===You will work in groups of 3 to 4 individuals. Since this presentation requires much of you, working as a team will help you to meet the demands of this unit in a timely and organized manner. Please let your teacher know if you prefer to work independently and arrangements can be made. Your group work will require role assignments. You may want to decide who will be the Graphic artist, who will search for videos, who will work on the written portions and content. It is also beneficial to have a group leader who can oversee the progress of the entire group to make sure all requirements are met.===

__Timeliness__
===This unit is aimed at a weeklong of intensive and investigative learning. This project will be due on the last class day of study. Please pace yourself accordingly. Structure and preparedness are just as critical as your artistic expression. Ideas are not worthwhile if enough time is not given to present them fully. If homework is necessary then be responsible and plan. Plan and design a presentation that falls within 5 - 8 minutes in length.===

__Resources__
===You will be required to utilize at least 5 FIVE 5 resources. The presentation tools being utilized do not count as a resource. Additionally, the resources must be pertinent to the information you are presenting. Please see the GUIDING LINKS AND RESOURCES PAGE for additional help. You are welcome to go above and beyond these resources as you explore your own area of technological interest. Also, we made a bibliography citing our sources, you should too!===

__Artfulness__
===Your ability to convey a presentation in a artful and creative way matters here. Remember that engaging your audience makes them want to know more. If your presentation is merely a listing of facts it will not get the same attention as one with artistic vision. Think about how the presentation is prepared. Is it enjoyable? Is it intriguing? Does it capture the eye? Would YOU want to read it?===

=__Structure__= ===What is presented must make sense. Remember that technology is vast and broad and you are merely focusing on ONE area that interests you most. Do not let the presentation get away from you. Pick your type of technology and stick with it. Adding too much will make the project confusing and take more time than you might actually have.===

You should also clearly have some type of link or written content that provides:

 * ===An Introduction to the concept===
 * ===A clear depiction of how we should use the presentation tools. (Don't assume we know to click on a link unless you let us know)===
 * ===A use of visual and creative elements that help to move us through your presentation in a meaningful way.===

__Define__
===If you use it, explain it. Don't assume we know. You are both answering questions for yourself and teaching your classmates. Remember that in the technological world, information is everything. Make sure we have it, clear and defined.===

__Keep It Simple__
===Our goal here is creativity and learning. It is not meant to stress you out. This is a limited assignment and as such, it is most important that you have fun with your exploration and learning through the process. Enjoy yourself and find what interest you most. Technology is astounding when we take the time to look at it with a closer lens.===
