COMM 2P26: 15-20 minute Group Presentations
March 31st – 15%

Each group consists of 4 students (=20 students) that were randomly chosen. You’ll be asked to pick one of five ‘themes’ in class.

Examples of themes:

• Non-Profit Organization: Goodwill Industries, United Way, Habitat for Humanity, the Red Cross, UNESCO, World Wide Fund for Nature
• Community Organization: Amateur sports clubs, school groups, church groups, youth groups and community support groups are all examples of community organizations.
• Educational Institution: High Schools, Colleges or Universities.
• Business: Smaller businesses or companies (not large or corporate).
• Activist Group: A group that tries to bring about social or political change.

Once you have your ‘theme’ for your group, you need to pick one example of it (ie: if you have non-profits, you might choose United Way). Keep your example/group local within the Niagara Region.

You are going to put a ‘social media package’ presentation together for your chosen business or group etc. Imagine you’re a social media expert, and you’re trying to convince your group that it will benefit them.

What does this mean?
• You should do some investigating about who you chose; size, target, mission statement etc
• You need to choose at least four different types of social media in your presentation (ones we have or have not talked about in class).
• For each: Why would you suggest they use it? Why important/significant? How would you use it? Give examples to show how they might use it.
• What are the affordances of each social media for your group?
• What are the possible constraints or limitations of each social media for your group?
• Are there any privacy issues or risks for people? How do you suggest overcoming this (if possible)?
*Presentations need to be on PowerPoint & they should be dynamic and interesting; it needs to flow (it should not look like 4 people’s notes mashed into one presentation).
