Wed. Sept. 2 GOALS:
- introduce students to the Google Meet presentation space
- explore methods for presenting work visually using the screen sharing tools
- participate in an informal, in-class exercise where you present your own work to the class using screen sharing
PREPARATION: At 9:30AM, students will receive a link to a shared Google Slide deck that covers this work. Review the deck, take notes on the process you'll need to follow. Ask questions as needed.
STUDENTS PRESENT at 9:50AM, by sharing one design project and talking about how the initial research component helped you create the work. If you have that initial research component handy, you can show that too: sketches, rough photos, rough thumbnails. You can layout multiple images on one "page" or have multiple pages to show. You may screen share to a browser tab to show your Behance page, your personal website, or create a unique Google Slide presentation.
Presentations will take place, with each student screen sharing from 9:50 to the end of class. Each student will have approximately 5-10 minutes of presentation time. This is a "low risk" assignment meant to introduce you to these tools.
ASSIGNED READING like this article about things to avoid during screen shares will help you better prepare for giving virtual presentations, and avoid potential blunders.
Worth 10 points
- 10-9 points for exceptional work, proper use of screen sharing, demonstrating knowledge about your own design and the research process
- 8-7 points for satisfactory work overall, use of screen sharing, some knowledge of your own design process and how research informed the final work
- 6-5 points for inconsistent work overall, some understanding of screen sharing, your own research
- 4-0 points for unsatisfactory work, lack of screen sharing, technical malfunctions, etc.
NOTE: if you have inconsistent wifi and internet, consider closing only the tabs that you need to do this work. Close Spotify, close any other open web or online tools. And, if worse comes to worse, you can email me and I'll provide you with an alternate platform to connect.
