Team A-1 Steak Sauce

Slides In each of these slides the information given was not supported by direct evidence, but was still written succinctly and served to support the general argument.

The first resource link on slide #2 led to an opinion based blog post that did not use any references.

There were no resources shown on slide #4.

Resource links were given on all other slides. Each was researched and found to be legitimate.

All images used were provided a URL link.

Video Slide

The video shown was interesting and utilized emotion to strongly reinforce the group’s argument.

Diigo

The Diigo page was unorganized and difficult to navigate through. Several links were missing and only one article was highlighted.

Overall Presentation

Though supporting evidence was not shown on any of the slides, most facts stated in the presentation were given specific examples and statistics.

The group seemed to know what to say without frequently referring to the document.

Facts clearly related to and supported the groups argument.

The information on the slides are brief and were able to be read through quickly without distracting from the speaker.

Team B. Ready

Slides The second and fourth slide had a paragraph of information that took too long to read, distracting from the speaker.

The resources listed on slide #2 were not listed on the group’s Diigo page.

All resources that were provided on the other slides were well-founded.

Slide #5 referenced a scientific study to support their argument. All other slides provided only opinions.

Video Slide

The video seemed to be aimed more towards texting specifically rather than digital technology as a whole. Nonetheless, it presented a real-world example that helped to support the group’s argument.

Diigo

Each Diigo link directed my group to the correct resource page with little difficulty.

Overall Presentation

The team’s members spoke without reading directly from their document.

During the presentation, no facts were stated; only opinions.

The group’s presentation was titled “How Texting Has Not Increased Literacy Skills,” however, the topic assigned to them was digital technology as a whole, not just texting.

All of the group’s information circulated around written forms of communication and little else, leading our group to believe that they did their research on the wrong subject.
