Final Presentation
Introduction
Part of Digital Literacy is being able to identify information as a credible and non-credible source as we have done in the previous weeks. However, credibility is only one aspect of collecting quality sourced information. It is also important to determine the weight or value of the information you gather by evaluating the
source
.
For this assignment, you will be creating a PowerPoint Presentation. You will be making a presentation on credible and non-credible sources on a topic of your choice that relates to Information Technology.
Activity Instructions
Pick a current topic related to Information Technology that you will make a presentation on. Some examples of topics are: Phishing, Big Data, 5G, VPN (Virtual Private Networks), Cybersecurity, Ransomware, Hacking, and
Cloud Computing
. Utilize Google Scholar website to search for information on topics and sources. Then research the following:
5 sources of information related to the topic that you feel are credible.
5 sources of information related to the topic that you feel are non-credible.
You will
create
the following slides for your presentation:
A title slide that includes your name and the topic that you have chosen.
An Introduction slide for the presentation

slide for each of the 10 sources that you have chosen with the following information:
