Sustainable Practices Presentation

Select one of the three fields of sustainability listed below, read the corresponding scenario, and use the information in the scenario to create a presentation.

· Health Care Economical Sustainability

Imagine you own a health and wellness company. Your company employs numerous fitness trainers and exercise professionals. As part of your company’s community outreach program, you have agreed to visit a meeting of the local nurses association. Your audience is personal trainers, nutritionists, and nurses. They require that all presentations include mathematical reasoning and concepts as part of the rationale.

· Financial Sustainability

Imagine you work as a business consultant. Companies and governmental entities hire your firm to make recommendations for streamlining business operations, such as to make companies more fiscally sound. You are asked by your supervisor to present at a local business conference on the subject of financial sustainability. Your audience is business analysts who are expecting your explanation to include mathematical rationale. You may address business issues related to private businesses, governmental operations, or personal finances.

· Environmental Sustainability

Imagine you work for the Environmental Protection Agency in the External Affairs Division (such as the Public Relations Division). Your job is to educate the public on environmental matters, including environmental sustainability. Your boss, the Director of External Affairs, asks you to visit a local high school on career day and present information relating to your field. The school has requested that the presentation relate to math, as you will be presenting during National Mathematics Awareness Week.

Refer to the University of Phoenix Material: Sustainability Problems. Various problems from each field are provided to you for examples.

Select 3 to 5 concepts from Weeks One through Four that could be applied in the field you selected.

Create a presentation that shows how these concepts apply to the field.

Include the following in your presentation:

· An overview of the field including a definition of sustainability

· An introduction to the mathematical concepts from the previous four weeks

· An explanation of how math, learned in this course, is used in the field

Cite at least two sources in your presentation.

Present your activity using a multimedia application. Seek faculty approval for your chosen multimedia application by Week Three.

· For Local Campus students, these are oral presentations of approximately 15 to 20 minutes.

· For Online and Directed Study students, these are multimedia presentations with detailed speakers’ notes.

Examplesof multimedia presentation tools include the following:

· Voki™ speaking avatars

· Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentations of at least 7 slides with detailed speakers’ notes

· Prezi™ presentations

· VoiceThread™ collaborative multimedia slide shows

· Digital Storytellersmmovies

· Glogster™interactive posters
