Proper citation use in a presentation

Hello all,

Today I'm going to blog about the proper use of citation in a presentation. To help illustrate my point I am going to answer the following questions.

You have created an electronic presentation for your class and wanted to use several graphics from Intel's web site. The Journey Inside (www.intel.com/education/journey/index.htm) Do you need to cite these graphics in your presentation? Where do you place the citation? What would the citation look like?

Yes, you must cite these graphics in your presentation. The TEACH Act of 2002 gives teachers the right to use this information in a presentation, but you still are obligated to cite your source of information.

When placing a citation you should number your citations during your presentation and then reference them at the end of your presentation. You should if at all possible site your source directly on the graphic in small font on the lower right hand corner stating graphic courtesy of Intel. This is what the citation for the use of Intel's web graphics should look like when it is referenced at the end of your presentation; you need the author / editor (Intel corporation) the title of the article (The Journey Inside), the producer (which is optional) and where it is available at, in this case (www.intel.com/education/journey/index.htm) [retrieved from the World Wide Web on 3/08/08]

Hope fully this information is helpful to anyone that needs guidance on citing during a presentation.

Respectfully
Dean :)

Word in the classroom

Today I would like discuss using word in the classroom.
I believe that word will be a very valuable tool in the classroom. It could be used in a wide variety of ways starting with using word to draft up a weekly or monthly newsletter to be sent home to the parents to help keep them informed of the on goings in their child's classroom.
We will have our students use word when we ask them to write research papers for class so it is imperative that our students understand the basic concepts of using word.
Yet another use for word processing will be for developing the rubrics that we will use to grade our student's assignments. This will be very important information for our students so that they understand what we are expecting of them on their assignments.
Word is valuable and much needed in today's classrooms.

Regards,
Dean
