=Guidelines for Constructing Presentations=




 * Take a look at these special guidelines for working with Prezi presentations.**

=**Guidelines for Use with Prezi Presentations**=

Here is a copy of the rubric that will be used to assess the presentations in ICT **Further Presentation Guidelines can be seen here on the LRC website**

= **Digital Presentation Rubric** =

**4** || **Good** **3** || **Fair** **2** || **Poor** **1** || Images support the main ideas. Each point on the path develops the topic. || Ideas are fairly clear and fairly follow a sequence. Most images support the main ideas.
 * **Criteria/Level** || **Excellent**
 * **Message** || Ideas are clear and follow a sequence.

Each point on the path develops the topic to a degree. || Some ideas are clear but may ramble. Few Images support the main ideas.

The topic is underdeveloped. || The ideas are unclear. The main ideas are unsupported by the images. The topic is not developed. || Has a strong opening Uses questions, humour, anecdotes effectively Holds attention through consistent eye contact and interaction with the audience Knows the topic and does not read from the presentation or other notes Has a powerful closing statement || All conditions met completely || Most conditions (4) met completely || Evidence of only 2-3 conditions met || Evidence of only one condition met and not necessarily well || Theme: Font size and colour and background are appropriate Main ideas may be grouped and flow sequentially.
 * **Delivery**
 * **Prezi construction**

Use bullets only when appropriate and rarely

Use relevant media: real images not clip art, videos

Care is taken when using zooming, paths and object size to emphasise and support main points || All conditions met completely || Most conditions met completely || Evidence of only 2 or 3 conditions met || Evidence of 2 or less conditions being met and not necessarily well ||
