Project+Description


 * Collaborate Session** - **Group Presentations**
 * October 23rd - 20 points**

Instructor will post a Google Docs with topics and number of students needed for each particular group. The number of Groups will be determined by final enrollment in the class. Each group will research the topic given and present findings as a group presentation during the Collaborate session. The group must create their presentation using presentation tools that are compatible with Collaborate (Powerpoint, Application sharing, Video). The length of the presentation will be approximately 25 minutes (again this is dependent on the number of groups). Final groups and presentation times will be determined by September 7th.

Each group with then select one person who will communicate with the instructor and with the Collaborate Assistant – act as the group representative. They are in no way charged with making group work happen, writing outlines, etc. All work within the group is just that “group” generated. The representative is the communicator for the group – this cuts out on multiple emails from everyone in the group to the instructor or our Collaborate Assistant. This person must let the Instructor know they are the group facilitator by September 10th. Competencies: D, M, N/Outcomes: 1,2,5,6,7,8

Example of viewpoints: Cohen vs. CA (1971) “Giving children the permission to read books that have foul language is the same as giving children permission to use the same language and the more teens read or hear profanity, the more they will feel that it is a normal part of life.” Intellectual Freedom and Teens, Page 38.
