=Background: = In order to improve your learning of key concepts related to Information Technology, you will be researching and presenting the concepts as outlined below.

=Objective: = (a) Processing and Hardware Devices (b) Memory and Storage Devices (c) History and Development (d) Input and Output Devices (e) Future outlook and trends (f) Software and business applications (g) <span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Key Innovators <span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Once your topic is chosen, you will be working with a group with similar interests. Your goal is to research the chosen topic and present your findings to the class via Google Presentation. Each group will essentially ‘teach’ the rest of the class in a way that they can learn and retain the information well enough to pass a test that will be given at the end of the project. While 65% may be passing-that is not good enough! 90% or above is your target. This target can be easily accomplished if you implement the following: <span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">NOTE: the information you present should be appropriate for the average student in this class. Points will be deducted if the information is too easy or too difficult. Remember to have a little fun with this. If you are having fun presenting, the rest of us will have fun learning. <span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; font-size: 16pt;"> __<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; font-size: 16pt;">1. RESEARCH THE INFORMATION: __<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; font-size: 16pt;"> (20 Points will be divided as follows): <span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">(5) Show evidence on your Wiki that all group members contributed to the discussion of what information is appropriate for your classmates and why. Get approval of the key concepts you will research from Mr. Turton BEFORE you continue to develop your presentation. <span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">(5) Show evidence on your Wiki how best to present this information to the class. Again, all group members should be contributing. <span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">(10) Show evidence of the sources of information. To receive the full 10 points you will need to have a few sources other than the internet//.// <span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; font-size: 16pt;">2. __PRESENT THE INFORMATION__: (40 Points will be broken down as follows): **<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Slide Presentation: (25 Points) **

 * 2) <span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">You need to be interested if you expect us to be.
 * 3) <span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Use diagrams and images appropriately.
 * 1) <span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">(30 points) At the end of the presentation, present summary slides, which will be used as study guides for the students. These summary slides will be posted in a new Wiki (or your Google Presentation will be linked to my website) so all students can view them and use them to study for the quizzes/tests.
 * 1) <span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">(10 points) Group/Self Evaluation.
