HISTORICAL FIGURE FACEBOOK PROJECT - TACKK. COM WEBSITE PAGE

Today you will be required to create a new Tackk.com website page about your Historical Figure Facebook Project.  You must EXPORT or SAVE your project as a set of Pictures (JPEG Files).  I will show you in class today how to do that.  Those pictures must be uploaded to Tackk.com on your webpage as a Photo Slide Show (Not Individually).  Below are the step-by-step instructions on how to complete this assignment:

STEP 1:  Open your project either as as Powerpoint Project or as the PDF that you emailed to me.



STEP 2:  If you opened it as a PowerPoint project you need to go to the File heading and click Save As Pictures.



If you opened it as a PDF (Open it in Preview) you need to go to the File heading and click Export.  Pick the Pictures Choice.



STEP 3:  Either way, you must now save your work as Picture Files (JPEG) to the Desktop.



STEP 4:  Open Tackk.com and Sign In.



STEP 5:  CREATE a new Tackk Webpage and customize the color, text and other settings.



STEP 6:  Design and Create your new Tackk Webpage with a Heading similar to the example posted here:  COOKIE MONSTER TACKK PAGE (Click Title Link To View Example)



Your Tackk Webpage must include the following items for credit:

• Title "Historical Figure Facebook Project"


• Subtitle I: "[Your Historical Figure's Name]"


• Subtitle II: "by [Your Name]"


• Subtitle III:  "Computer Science Class"


• Subtitle IV: "Crossroads@Meade (Philadelphia, PA)"


• Picture Slide Show of your COMPLETE Facebook Project Pages (6)


• Written Description of your Historical Figure:  2-3 Paragraphs in YOUR OWN WORDS!




• Include Why You Chose your Historical Figure and what you learned.




• Embed a VIDEO about your Historical Figure's Life or the Time they lived in.


• Add your SOURCES as working links to the websites you used for research.


• Add a Map of the Area of the World your Historical Figure lived in.


• Add the following KEYWORDS so your Tackk Webpage can be found easily:




• #caatech


• #HFFacebook2013

STEP 7:  Find the Button in your TOOLBAR on Tackk.Com that allows you to FINISH your Project.  Once you depress that button, your page will go LIVE and a link will show in the Bottom Right-Hand Corner of your Window.  Copy that link and email it to me for credit!



MAKE SURE THAT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS PROJECT YOU FOLLOW THE CLASS RULE OF "ASK THREE BEFORE ME!"  PEER MENTORING AND EXPLORING HOW TO COMPLETE THESE PROJECTS INDEPENDENTLY IS THE BASIS OF THE WAY WE LEARN IN THIS CLASS.  You will learn how to be Technologically Literate much faster if you are required to TEACH someone else how to do what you just learned in class.



I hope you enjoyed this very complex project.
