1ST TERM PROJECT: ICT-ENGLISH

SOCIAL MEDIA SWAY PROJECT

GUIDELINES:

• Students work in pairs (or groups of three people, if necessary).
• The teacher will assign one of the most popular social networks  (Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Instagram…) to each group.
• Each group will do research about the assigned social network and prepare a Sway-presentation
• f you do not have an account for the social network, create one (as you know, first you have to ask permission from your parents)

En España el acceso a redes sociales está regulado en el artículo 13 de la Ley Orgánica 1/1982, de 5 de mayo, sobre Protección Civil del Derecho al Honor, a la Intimidad Personal y Familiar y a la Propia Imagen, e indica que hay que tener 14 años o más para poder registrarse en cualquier chat o red social.

• Before you start, make sure to log in the social network of your choice and capture several screens that will serve as material for your presentation. You can use "snipping tool" for this purpose (to take a screenshot in the cell phone you must use a key combination, see the last section for details)
• In case you do not have permission to create the account, make a more general presentation about this topic with the following items;

1.  How to connect 
2. The main features 
3. New features
4. The main uses (keeping in touch with friends, keeping up with celebrities, listening to music, sharing ideas, keeping in touch with work colleagues…) 
5.  How has social media affected society 
6. Look at the document titled SocialNetwork (pdf file) and pick another topic.

Your Sway presentation must contain, at least, the following items:

1. Several cards
2. One video (you can also add videos that you have taken, or you can look for videos that suit your needs in Bing or YouTube by using the Insert Sources drop- down list)
3. One tweet (you can copy an embed link for a Tweet that fits your needs from twitter.com and paste it into an embed card)
4. Different types of groups (grid, slideshow, stack, etc.)
5. Add a Gif Image (you can add animated GIFs to the heading)

Make sure to explore the different options for the display of all the above contents. By varying the way the information is presented, the result will be more compelling to the viewers and will better fit in your purposes.

    A  PRESENTATION WILL BE HELD IN THE ENGLISH CLASSROOM AND YOUR ORAL SKILLS WILL BE ASSESSED.
