This assignment requires you to make an informative presentation on one of the topics below. You will work with your group or independently to research, create, and present information on your topic to the class. Presentations will consist of either a PowerPoint or Prezi presentation.
Each group /individual must choose a topic from the list below. Groups may not present the same topic, so topic choice will be decided on a first-come, first-served basis. There will be six total groups with an even distribution of group members. Please click each topic below to learn more about the requirements for each topic.
You may complete this assignment independently (you will be required to complete the entire project on your own) or with up to four additional class members (maximum group members = 5). You may contact your class members by emailing them or by using the People then Group menu item (to the left) to find a partner. You are required to record yourself presenting your project if your class meets online only. You may choose to record just your voice and your computer screen or you may choose to record your face, the screen, and your voice. Use any of the visual options mentioned below to create a presentation. You may use any type of recording device that will load in the assignment submission box. I have activated Kaltura (My Media) on this assignment as an option and you might also want to try www.jing.com (Links to an external site.) or www.screencastomatic.com (Links to an external site.).

Note: Do not use Wikipedia as a source for your research.
Share your article (or information from the website/campus) with your group. If you use the HCC Library databases, many articles have a link where you can e-mail a copy to yourself and anyone else.
