This assignment will give you an alternative introduction to Twitter and also introduce you to a form of presentation called a "Prezi." Since it is to be done in teams, you also get practice with collaborative writing.
First, watch the following presentations:
A video introduction to Twitter
A “Prezi” of the above video
Then answer the following questions.
1. The presentations introduced Twitter and then showed how it could be used in a collaborative application. What was that application?
2. Which did you prefer the Prezi or the Video? Explain your answer.
3. You also saw this PowerPoint presentation. What is one point that it covers that is not covered in the video/Prezi?
This assignment is to be done in teams of two or three people. Print and turn in a single copy of your answers with everyone's name on it.

Experiment with presentation tempo
I recorded the presentation for our topic module on recording presentations at normal speed and with the tempo increased by 15%.
Listen to both versions.
Do you think the faster version would be as effective as the slower one?
Get two friends to watch the presentations -- one at normal speed and one the faster speed. Watch them as they watch the video -- did one pause or replay parts more than the other?
Ask each to summarize the content after they finish watching. Did one do a better job than the other? Which one?
Based on your observations, would you say that one version is better than the other? Which one? Why?

Focused PowerPoint presentation
This assignment gives you practice with simple, focused presentations.
Pick one concept or point that you learned in a class, and make a short PowerPoint presentation explaining it to a classmate. Don't pick the first topic that pops into your mind – choose a topic that you think is really interesting.
Make it a "Steve Jobs" presentation – keep the slides simple and write a carefully worded script for each one.
The presentation can be a single slide if that is all you need to explain your concept.
Turn in a printout of your presentation, showing the slides and notes.
