identify-ways-social-media-may-be-utilized-to-promote-positive-social-change

Social media allows individuals to easily interact on the internet through interactions in virtual communities. These communities facilitate shared experiences and allow users to create and share information and other media. Like in any community, there are risks as well as opportunities.

In this Application, you will analyze ways a specific social media might be utilized to promote positive social change. You will create a PowerPoint presentation showcasing a social media resource of your choice and describing your vision for ways in which it might be utilized to promote positive social change.

You may consider personal or professional networks, content sharing sites, collaborative content development sites, peer-to-peer services, virtual games or social worlds, or any other forum that socially connects a large number of users on the Internet.

Submit a PowerPoint Presentation that contains 6–10 slides with a narrative overlay. The overall slide show must be in the 6–10 minute range.

The presentation must be engaging, organized, easy to understand, and include the following:

• An introduction to the presentation
• A general description of the social media chosen
• An analysis of whom utilizes the social media and why
• A description of two ways social media might be utilized to support positive social change
• A summary of the presentation

To complete this application you must have Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 or newer loaded on your computer. In addition, you must have a microphone to record your oral narrative to accompany the presentation.

Refer to this week’s Learning Resources for guidance on recording audio and inserting audio into PowerPoint.

Design slides for an effective presentation. The slides should be graphically focused with text limited to essential information that cannot be shown through images or graphs. The narrative will provide the details. The slides should complement that narrative, and you should not be reading directly off the slides. It is appropriate to capture the narrative in the Notes field if desired.

Once the PowerPoint slides are complete, you have created a written copy of the narrative, and you have tested the narrative to be sure it is the proper overall length (time), you will embed the oral narrative into the file.

Be sure that your presentation includes an introduction to the presentation, a general description of the social media chosen, an analysis of whom utilizes the social media and why, a description of two ways the social media might be utilized to support positive social change, and a summary of the presentation

Save the PowerPoint presentation with your embedded narrative.
