The goal of this assignment is for you to create a 5-slide online presentation using Google Documents. The purpose of the assignment is for you to introduce yourself to a potential employer. The content of the presentation will be as follows:

• Slide 1: Your name, hometown, and major with a graphic.
  
  
• Slide 2: A paragraph (3 to 5 sentence minimum) of why you want to be a teacher.
  
  
• Slide 3 A description of the ideal teaching job for you in terms of location, grade, and subject level.
  
  
• Slide 4: A paragraph or a list of your personal qualities or characteristics that will be an asset to you as a future teacher.
  
  
• Slide 5: You can decide on this last slide, however, it should reflect appropriate content for this assignment. If you don't know what to write, you can identify your long term career goals. Also put a a graphic and LINK to your home page on this page.

Note: You may create more than 5 slides if you wish!

Following are the steps to create this presentation:

1. Visit http://www.google.com/educators/p_docs_spreadsheets.html for information on how educators use Google documents.

2. View an example of an online presentation at: http://docs.google.com/Present?docid=ddxbpg9m_28fs2rsf&fs=true
This presentation will outline the requirements of your presentation. Click on the "View published presentation in a new window" link.

3. You will have to sign up for a Google account to work with Google Docs. You have three options:

Option One: If you already have a Gmail account, you can use your login and password from your account.

Option Two: If you want to use Google Gmail, you can sign up for Google Gmail

Option Three: If you do not want another email account, you can sign up for a Google Account

This is a requirement because we will be using Google Tools throughout this course. Some student forget logins and passwords so you should use the normal login and password that you use for other accounts.

4. Sign into Google Documents.

5. From the menu, choose NEW/PRESENTATION. Create your slides.

6. After you complete your presentation, click on SAVE and then PUBLISH. Copy the publish link. Make a link from your home page to this presentation.
