For this assignment, you will create a five-slide PowerPoint presentation on the three components of digital fluency and on building a fluent mindset toward technology. Making a PowerPoint presentation is a good opportunity to increase your technical proficiency skills because Microsoft PowerPoint is the leading slideshow presentation software. It is a useful tool for conveying ideas, presenting information, and showcasing media. You should access PowerPoint through your UAGC Microsoft 365 account.
In addition to writing content for your slides, you must also write slide notes, called speaker notes. For each slide (except your title slide), your speaker notes should contain a minimum of 100 words describing and expanding on the slide content.
You are also expected to use some of the design features within PowerPoint by including images on your slides and applying a design theme to your presentation.
Once you have created your presentation using PowerPoint, you will need to save it as a PDF file with your speaker notes visible and submit it to Waypoint.
