Online Presentation

For Dr. Pastore's Classes
20 Points

Due at midterm

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
  
  
• 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.

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