...EDU 695 Week 2 DQ 2 Common Core Presentation NEW To Buy This material Click below link http://www.uoptutors.com/edu-695-ash/edu-695-week-2-dq-2-common-core-presentation-new Common Core Presentation In the Common Core State Standards discussion for Week Two, you describe the foundation of CCSS and discuss how CCSS can be used to influence the use of technology-enhanced instructional strategies to support the needs of all learners. Here, you continue the discussion on CCSS, but from the perspective of linking report cards to the CCSS. It is common to think about how creating report cards that are linked to CCSS will define expectations for student learning, communicate student progress to parents, provides a consistent approach to assessment evaluations, and focuses on academic achievement. As needed, review the Hunt Institute video below (click this link to view the video transcript), which covers the history and development of the CCSS. For this discussion, you will adopt the role of a school leader and create a digital presentation using the software of your choice (e.g., PowerPoint, Present.me, YouTube, Prezi, Jing, SlideRocket, or another program). Your audience for this presentation can be either a school board or a stakeholder directly in the school setting, such as teachers, other staff, or students. If you use software other than PowerPoint, submit notes for each slide as part of your post. If you use PowerPoint, be sure to include notes for each talking point on...

...pharmaceutical representative, has been assigned the responsibility to construct a presentation about a new drug that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. She has called the support desk regarding PowerPoint® and wants to know the main functions of this software. Susan’s gathered data includes graphs, videos, and statistics of the new drug. The first step I would take is to explain to Susan the basics of a PowerPoint presentation and give her the fundamental reasoning for using PowerPoint presentations in the business world, as well as other settings. I would expand on this by telling her why PowerPoint is a perfect method for explaining about the recent FDA drug approval. Since Susan has little to no experience using PowerPoint, there are some challenges that would have to be overcome. PowerPoint can look very complex if someone is not familiar with it. Having a guide to show its many features will help alleviate some stress. I would tell her about PowerPoint's ability to incorporate data, graphs, videos, images, and statistics. As a demonstration I would have her insert text and images to help her become comfortable with PowerPoint. After that, I would answer any questions she may have. After Susan finishes the practice presentation, I would have her send the results to my e-mail so I can see for myself how she is doing. When I have reviewed the presentation I would have her insert a video, add some speaker notes, and other add ins so I can get a handle on how...

...to create visual presentations to accompany live speaking. Table of Contents Using Microsoft® PowerPoint® 1 Creating Your Best Work in Microsoft® PowerPoint® 2 Details You Should Know 4 Submitting Your Microsoft® PowerPoint® File 5 Using Microsoft® PowerPoint Microsoft® PowerPoint® software is widely used in business and education to create slides to accompany live presentations. Microsoft® PowerPoint® files contain slides that are presented sequentially, most often by means of a computer running the software connected to a projector. Microsoft® PowerPoint® is the software used to create slides, organize them into a slideshow, and present them. • When used in a live presentation, the presenter uses the mouse button, the spacebar, or the arrow keys to advance to the next slide. • To help make the slides more interesting, Microsoft® PowerPoint® provides a number of visual styles and themes so that all slides can have a similar look. • Each theme or style accommodates a number of slide types in the form of empty slide templates, which may then be populated with content. Among the many templates are title slides, bullet-point slides, slides with spaces for images, and so on. • In addition, the creator can control transitions between slides and other simple animations, such as having bullet points appear one at a time instead of all at once. • Space is provided in the presentation file—not visible to viewers—where presentation or speaker notes...

...Anacely Ledezma Mgmt 3330.003 April 19, 2010 Assignment #5 Visual Aids are extremely important when they help an audience understand a presentation or speech more clearly. Audiences vary in regards to their ability to capture ideas and thus with visual aids could be presented the opportunity to further comprehend a concept. Most audiences also include a mix of different types of learners. As a presenter, it is crucial to make sure that the presentation given targets each type of learner whether visual, kinesthetic, or auditory. When a presentation includes visual aids it captures the attention of those visual learners and thus gives another portion of the audience to comprehend what is being spoken to auditory learners and the personal stories given to kinesthetic. Each presenter might have a different way to provide a visual aid for an audience. Whiteboards would be key for large rooms, such as lectures. They could be used to present notes, charts, graphs, and tables. The presenter could use those to best display statistics and other important data to large groups. If the notes, charts, graphs, and tables required changes those could be easily added/erased to provide the new relevant information to the audience. They could also be used throughout a long presentation as a reference point if multiple discussions involved them. Another type of visual aid that could be beneficial would be a handout. A presenter could easily type a synopsis of the discussion ahead...

...Presentation Reflection The following essay will highlight details relating to my presentation of 04 July 2016. I was part of a four-person group randomly selected to provide the class with group findings of what makes an effective team. Initially the task was planned as a group with specific roles allocated with the consensus of all of the team involved. The subject chosen and allocated to myself centred on key areas of large team successes and the fact smaller teams collaborate to achieve a common goal. I felt comfortable with the subject matter and also assisted in helping my fellow team members with aspects relating to their particular segment of presentation. The preparation and research I conducted consisted of visiting the Liverpool Museum and obtaining handouts and factual representations of the recent European Space Agency mission undertaken by Major Tim Peake. This mission planned for the Major to stay six months at the International Space Station. It was decided amongst our group we would create a PowerPoint presentation to assist. We utilised the skill-set of one of our colleagues who was adept at graphic design and I agreed the structure of presentation and roles associated. Additionally, I arranged with my colleagues to meet on the morning of the presentation. However, not everyone attended and this threw doubt into my mind that our presentation could be successful. A further hastily arranged meeting was set up prior to the presentation, I...

Don’t just stick to the mainstream Microsoft powerpoint. Be more experimental and try new ways to present. There are different approaches to presenting.
