Assignment Two: Digital Media Presentation

Part 1

This assignment was all about learning to effectively use a digital media presentation tool like PowerPoint to put together an interesting lesson. The original file was three slide presentation that needed a little bit of work to make it more interesting. My major changes are:

1. Broke the information down into smaller, simpler chunks and spread it out over a greater number of slides (from 3 slides to 7 slides).
2. Added pictures to supplement the story.
3. Focused on the human interest element with a personal survivor story.
4. Created a graphic to illustrate the ecological changes, as opposed to just having bulleted points.
5. Used a thematic font for the headlines and brief color changes to highlight the headlines.

Part 2

The second part of this assignment was to create an account on http://www.slideshare.net and publish the completed PowerPoint presentation, with references. This is the address to access that:
