Creative Presentation 4.
Topic: defend a particular position on anything we've covered in the course. (While I am giving you free reign to choose a topic from any unit, I am asking you to choose something specific. Please feel free to run ideas past me.)
Medium: your in-class presentation should demonstrate your successful engagement with, and use of, digital technology, in a manner that emphasizes the unique qualities of digital media.
Samples (to get you thinking)
Topic: defend a particular position on anything we've covered in the course. (While I am giving you free reign to choose a topic from any unit, I am asking you to choose something specific. Please feel free to run ideas past me.)
Medium: your in-class presentation should demonstrate your successful engagement with, and use of, digital technology, in a manner that emphasizes the unique qualities of digital media.
Samples (to get you thinking)
- Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/ing Us (see also "Parisian Love" and Google's "Search Stories" tool that makes a (shortened) version of a similar thing -- you'd need to string several of these together to make a full presentation)
- Scrolling palindrome text
- I used Screencast on my MacBook to create the interactive fiction playthroughs. Is there a game, or a website, or a database, or a piece of software that you could demonstrate (or critique)? (The IT department may be able to let you use a Mac in order to do the capturing. Contact Mary Spataro at spataro@setonhill.edu.)
- It is possible to add buttons to YouTube videos, so that a viewer could choose to play clip A or clip B -- so you could make a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure video. (Note that, if you use copyrighted material, YouTube may take your video down at any time. FYI.)
- Prezi is an alternative to PowerPoint that might appeal to visual-spatial learners. (Here's a Prezi I created for News Writing last fall.)
- Such Tweet Sorrow (Twitter-based reworking of Romeo & Juliet)
