Lesson 20 Assignment (Discussion)

Here is the situation...you are a rehabilitation professional and you have been tasked with designing a presentation to attract and educate young CNAs who are going to be working at a local long-term care facility.

Select ONE of the issues that is outlined in the Teaching section of this Lesson and design a presentation (you can use whatever tools you are familiar with...PowerPoint, Keynote, PowToon, Prezi, etc.). Whatever tool you decide to use, your final submission needs to be a presentation with slides and voice over. The voice over is YOU talking as if you were giving a presentation on the slides.

You will create this presentation using your favorite tool, and if it is not online already (as in PowToon or Prezi) you will create a movie file and upload it to YouTube. Your presentation must not be submitted as a PowerPoint or Keynote file...it has to be submitted as a link to a movie that is ONLINE.

This assignment will be lots of fun for you creative types!

NOTE: This "Assignment" actually appears as a Discussion...when you have completed your Presentation movie, copy the URL into a discussion post. View and comment on each other's presentations. The grade, however, will not be a function of the posting, but of the quality of the Presentation alone. I'm looking for creativity and educational impact.
