Business Proposal TACKK.COM Webpage! (200 pts.)

Happy Friday!  Make sure to show this post to your Substitute Teacher Today!

If you are able to enter the room and quietly and quickly get to work, you may use headphones to listen to music while you work on the assignment today.  The ultimate decision of whether or not you can is up to the Substitute and I expect you to follow any and all directions that person gives to you!  You are all aware of how to behave in school and especially in my class.  Make sure to get to work on today's assignment as soon as you can to give yourself the most time to complete it!

YOU ALL DID A GREAT JOB SHARING YOUR BUSINESS PROPOSALS YESTERDAY!  I AM VERY PROUD OF THE WORK YOU COMPLETED SO FAR ON THIS PROJECT!

You will now create (BIG SURPRISE) a Tackk.com Webpage for your Business Proposal!

Please Sign In to your Tackk.com Account and CREATE a new Tackk.

You will need to DOWNLOAD the slides from your Google Presentation as JPEG images.  You could also DOWNLOAD the Entire Presentation into MS Powerpoint on your class computer and then SAVE the file as IMAGES.  This would place a folder on the desktop with a picture of each slide in one, single command.

Follow these steps to create images from your presentations:

Open Google Drive Presentation
Click FILE and look for DOWNLOAD
DOWNLOAD Image for each slide as a JPEG file.  You will have to select each slide individually and complete this sequence.

If you want a faster way, DOWNLOAD the entire presentation and open in MS Powerpoint (ppt)  Then Choose SAVE in MS Powerpoint and SAVE AS IMAGES. This will put a folder on the desktop or in your computer's download file (under the STUDENT files).  You may then use the upload the images together to create a slideshow on your Tackk Web Page.

Once you have the images ready to upload to Tackk.com, you can look at my example Tackk to add additional items.  Here is the link:  https://tackk.com/v9fbpb

Make sure to write 1-2 paragraphs (2-3 Sentences Each) about why you chose this type of company to start, and why someone would choose you over your competitors.  Focus on what is unique or different about the products and services you sell.  Your Tackk.com Web Page must include all the slides of your presentation, a map of your business location in Philadelphia, PA, a link to your Weebly Webpage (either a button or text), and a response form for feedback.  Once you have completed this, please leave a response on my Tackk.com (Super Falafel) webpage with a link to your Tackk.  I will make sure you have all the items required and you will receive your points for this project.  You may also email me the link to your Tackk Web Page for credit.

MAKE SURE YOU USE THE FOLLOWING KEYWORDS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TACKK SO WE CAN SEARCH FOR YOUR PAGE:  #caatech  and  #xroadsmlabp

Once completed, you may quietly work on anything else you owe for class.  Remember, Grades Close On April 18th at 4pm for my class.  With PSSA's and Holidays, we only really have 7 more class days until grades are due!

Enjoy the day!

Pecha Kucha Templates - End death by Powerpoint.

Pecha Kucha 20X20

Pecha Kucha is a presentation format that allows the speaker 20 slides presented for 20 seconds each.  The slides automatically advance every 20 seconds for a total of 6 minutes and 40 seconds.  You can click here to learn more.  It's a great format for improving public speaking skills, and it keeps presentations concise and therefore more interesting.  Students will quickly learn that basic slides work best.  Little-to-no wording on a slide means that students will actually speak instead of reading slides.    Click the image below to watch an example that will give you a better idea of what a Pecha Kucha presentation looks like.

Pecha Kucha: Technological Change

I found some templates (set to automatically advance every 20 seconds) to get you started:

• PowerPoint
• Keynote

Business Proposal Presentations (100 points each)

Today you will be presenting your Business Proposal Presentations to each other.  We will be pairing off.  You will sit with a random partner and "present" your business idea (Google Presentation) to each other.  While you are watching the presentation, you will have the following link open:

Business Proposal Presentation Response Form 2014 (CLICK HERE FOR FORM)

You will present your idea, your partner will fill out the form, then you will reverse rolls.  You will each have 3 minutes to complete the tasks.  At the end of both presentations you will be assigned another partner and repeat the process.  You MUST have at least 3 presentations to receive your points for this exercise!

Good Luck!
