Assignment PPT E: How to Evaluate PowerPoint Presentations (PPT)

1. Pick a historical figure, person of personal interest, or an event. The person you pick should be school appropriate! If you are not sure, ask me.

2. Your task is to find three PPT presentations that are available on the web. You will evaluate the three and decide which is best after filling out the spread sheet on the next page. This may require going back to the first one or second after viewing the third to help you decide.

3. Use Google.com to find PPTs. You will use the Advanced Search feature and limit your searches to PPT format. Example: PPT+William Wallace or PowerPoint+William Wallace

4. Make sure you support why the one selected is the best of the three. Be thorough in your answer. One or two sentences DOES NOT support your reasoning.

5. After you fill out the Spread sheet on the next page, completed the supporting comment box, make sure your name and date data field is filled in on the spread sheet.

6. Save it to your documents your Integrated Tech 8 on your H: drive.

7. Send it to the conference via an email attachment.

In the box provided and based on your answers from above, list the best PPT and explain why? Be thorough in your explanation as to why. One or two sentences DOES NOT support your reasoning. Write a paragraph explaining. Paragraphs usually are at a minimum of seven (7) sentences in length. The best ppt is the third on I did. It had information the others didnt. It listed the author and things about him and listed some sources. It was colorful and easy to read unlike the others. In some ways it was not as good as the others but overall I thought it was the best one. Those were my thoughts about the power points.
