ISLA 303 VALUES AND TECHNOLOGY TED TALK TIPS
This will give you guidelines for your TED TALK that will help you to give the best possible presentation. The goal of this assignment is to seek the “truth.” Finding the truth means approaching your question with an open mind, and not assuming any specific answer nor try to justify a presumed point of view. You are encouraged to seek a variety of sources from the most scientific and academic, to the most absurd. The “truth” can be found in a variety of places.
This can include scientific journals, charts, academic papers, newspapers, television, internet sources, tweets, blogs, videos, movies, documentaries, Facebook forums, memes and so on.
For your source information, type them into the provided form, and use proper AP formatting.
The five-minute time limit means you need to be concise and efficient with presenting your question and conclusions.

Feel free to make a power point presentation if it enhances your delivery. Clips are fine but should not take up more than one minute of the presentation. There will not be an opportunity for Q&A, but you can post your contact info at the end for folks with follow- up questions or thoughts.
