slides and facts are in an order that makes sense

Limited focus- not as sharp as an advanced

BASIC: Less than 3 minutes Not very logical-

slides out of order, facts out of order (education mentioned before birth)

Somewhat random focus- a little scattered, but not completely wrecked

LABELS, TITLES, AND TEXT

Same fonts, colors, sizes throughout presentation for advanced

If labels make the presentation better, give an advanced

If everything is okay, but may have one or two poor choices such as changes in size or font = proficient

Some major distractions in labels, titles, text such as really large text or Word Art that cannot be read = basic

Spelling must be accurate for proficient and advanced

Some spelling errors = basic Several spelling errors = below basic

LABELS CONTINUED

USING MEDIA DURING PRESENTATION

ADVANCED:

Uses media in an engaging way. Example: Overview has hyperlinks to other slides.

No problems navigating through slideshow presentation

References visual pictures (not just reading the captions)

Use of an interactive website

Tells more than what is on the slide. Explains timelines, picture gallery, or student created diagrams

USING MEDIA DURING PRESENTATION

PROFICIENT: References media/pictures once or twice

Overview has hyperlinks to other slides within presentation. However, some problems exist in navigating through presentation.

Just reads the picture captions

Mentions timelines, picture gallery, or student created diagrams

USING MEDIA DURING PRESENTATION

BASIC: No reference to media/pictures

Hyperlinks to other slides don’t work

Layout of slideshow is confusing

Can’t use PPT properly.
