Interactive Timelines
Hi all:
If you are thinking of using a timeline in your presentation, check out http://www.dipity.com/
You can create something like this:
Note that videos, images, locations, and links can be embedded in the timeline.
Unfortunately, Dipity doesn’t have a print function yet, but you can take a screen shot of the timeline and include it in your poster.
From Dipity’s Q &A:
The best way to print a timeline currently is to use screenshots of your timeline. You can edit the screen shots to the right size in order to create a hard copy of your Dipity timeline.
To take screen shots on Mac:
Command-Shift-3: Take a screenshot of the screen, and save it as a file on the desktop
Command-Shift-4, then select an area: Take a screenshot of an area and save it as a file on the desktop
Command-Shift-4, then space, then click a window: Take a screenshot of a window and save it as a file on the desktop
PC
Hit the “Print Screen” button
Open any image software.
Hit paste
Voila!

Poster Information
Hi all:
Here is a link to Macaulay’s presentation page:
http://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/seminar3presentations/presentations/
and here is the link with instructions for getting your poster printed:
http://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/seminar3presentations/poster-printing/
Please note: Macaulay does not provide proofreading or editing. That is your responsibility. Please sign up for a consultation with Jesse (Wednesdays) or Karen (Mondays) so that we can help you with this, as well as any other issues you might be having.
When you are ready to print your poster, please make sure to save it as a PDF (by selecting the PDF drop down on the lower left of the dialogue window.) Poster sizes, which you can specify in the custom menu, should be 36×48 or 48×36, depending on your poster’s orientation. Save this PDF file on your flash drive in order to bring it to Macaulay for printing.
Also, Macaulay notes that you might want to buy a poster tube to carry the final printed version home. They don’t sell the tubes but, according to their site, the post office on Columbus Avenue and 68th Street does.

Presentations and Posters– Please read
2010 Seminar 3 Poster Sessions
Even though it’s only October, it’s time to start thinking about the end of the semester and the Seminar Three closing common event!
All seminar three students (in small groups) will be presenting their scientific posters at Macaulay.
Deadlines:
Poster Printing—Must be completed by one week before the presentation is scheduled (so December 2 is the last possible date). Use the form linked on the Poster Printing tab at http://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/seminar3presentations to make an appointment for printing.
Registration for presentations—By 5 pm on November 22, 2010.
Scheduling:
Use the registration form on the Sign Up tab at http://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/seminar3presentations ONE member of each group should register. Make sure that your group members agree to the time and are available to attend before you register.
Available slots are (if a slot does not appear on the sign up form, it is full and no longer available):
Sunday December 5 10-12 or 1-3
Monday December 6 6-8
Tuesday December 7 6-8
Wednesday December 8 6-8
Thursday December 9 6-8
Students from different classes will be mixed together for presentations and audiences.
Content:
Posters/Presentations: Each group (3-5 groups per class—no more than 5, no less than 3, 3-5 students per group) will present a scientific poster explaining their research and conclusions. Professors and ITFs will assist students in creating effective posters. For the presentation, since the poster will not be visible to the entire audience (it’s a big room and people in the back won’t be able to see), there will need to be some kind of display that can be shown on the big screen—this can be a slideshow (Keynote or PowerPoint) of selected elements of the poster, or another type of multi-media presentation. It’s up to the students to decide what will work best, with the assistance of professors and ITFs.
All presentations will be limited to 10 MINUTES maximum (not including time for questions and answers).
Audience: The students who are not presenting will be the audience for the students who are presenting—and they should be prepared to be active audiences, listening and asking questions and discussing. Presentations will be mixed so that in most cases, groups will not be presenting to other groups from the same class.
Moderators: Faculty will volunteer to moderate. Moderators will need to be careful about limiting time for the presentations and making sure that audience members get equal opportunities to ask questions. ITFs may also be asked to volunteer as moderators. And of course Dr. Ugoretz will moderate, too!
