ENG 315 Strayer University Week 7 Aspect of Social Media Use in The Workplace PPT

ASSIGNMENT #3: POWERPOINT PRESENTATION

Due Week 6 and worth 150 points

Develop a PowerPoint presentation (12-18 slides in length). It should include a title slide, an agenda slide, body content slides, a closing slide, and a references slide (if applicable). All slides count toward the required length.

The content should focus on some aspect of social media use in the workplace. Potential examples include the importance of companies embracing social media, advertising through social media, policies involving social media, proper professional communication through social media platforms, or any number of other angles.

The presentation must be submitted in .PPT or .PPTX format. Any other submission formats will be returned ungraded.

The PowerPoint presentation must adhere to the following requirements:

• Content:
  • Address some aspect of social media use in the workplace.
  • Organize the presentation in a clear, logical manner.
  • Provide between 12-18 total slides.
  • Assume your target audience is familiar with the overall concept of social media.
• Format:
  • Follow the design requirements from Chapter 12-3 (pages 218-223) in BCOM9.
  • Format the PowerPoint presentation with headings on each slide, and two to three (2-3) relevant graphics (photographs, graphs, clip art, etc.) throughout the presentation (not per slide), ensuring that the presentation is visually appealing and readable from 18 feet away.
  • Open with an engaging introduction (including one title slide and one introduction slide).
  • For the body of your presentation, cover the main points of your subject. Create slides that reinforce and illustrate your main ideas.
  • For your single closing slide, finish with a memorable wrap-up statement that refocuses on the purpose of your presentation.
• Slides should cite any relevant outside sources using footnotes on relevant slides (the source should be clearly visible to the audience) OR in SWS format (in-text citations on slides and an included references page at the end of the presentation). Choose one method or the other (do not mix both).
• Clarity / Mechanics:
  • Focus on clarity, writing mechanics, and professional language/style requirements.
  • Run spell/grammar check before submitting.

Your assignment must be completed in PowerPoint (using either .PPT or .PPTX format). Your professor may provide additional instructions.

ASSIGNMENT BEGINS HERE…

Update slides in PPT using feedback from instructor and prepare outline (using updated slides) for presentation using template in 2nd attachment or one of your choosing…

Feedback from instructor…

2 – Good to use bullets; make some of them shorter–review all slides for this…. Lists need to be parallel; see video Week 6–review all lists for this.

3 – Content font too small; review all slides for this…

4 – Too much text; use short bullets or graphics and save explanation for oral narration. PPT is a visual medium. Remember, the audience can’t read and listen at the same time–please review all slides for this…..

5 – Keep headings to four words or fewer; review all slides for this…

13 – Need proper SWS formatting (see written guidelines in course shell tab, videos in Announcements); anything listed here must be cited on the slide(s) where outside info is used, or it’s still considered plagiarism.

Professional Experience #4

Due at the end of Week 7 and worth 22 points

(Not eligible for late policy unless an approved, documented exception provided)

For Professional Experience #4, you will create an outline of your presentation in Word or Excel using short bullet points and key information that you want to communicate (in either your audio or video recording for Week 8). You will be provided with an outline example and you may choose to use that example format or create your own for this Professional Experience.

Instructions:

Step One: Access, download, and review the “Presentation Outline Sample” document that is provided to you as an example.

Step Two: Save the Outline Template to your desktop using the following file name format:

• Your_Name_Presentation_Outline
• Example file name: Ed_Buchanan_Presentation_Outline

Step Three: Review the Outline Guidelines that you will use to create an outline for your Week 8 presentation based on Week 6’s PowerPoint presentation. Note: A video preview is available under the Week 7 tab in Blackboard. Make sure you leave the comments column blank so your instructor can provide feedback.

Outline Guidelines:

• Use Microsoft Word or Excel only to complete your outline.
• Use short bullet points, rather than long paragraphs.
• Focus only on the key points in your Week 6 presentation; avoid discussing less important details.
• Refer to the example outline (provided in the Student Center).
• Base your submission on the outline format in the example or create your own for this Professional Experience.

Note: You may use the provided Presentation Outline Sample or develop a different outline of your own using Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel. Be sure that you save the file name using the naming convention outlined in Step Two if you choose not to use the outline example that you downloaded and saved previously.
