5.++Creating+&+Giving+Effect+Power+Point+Presentations



Important Notice: Seeing as the MS students will not be in the school from Nov. 11 to Nov. 13 our IT classes will lose some teaching time. For students in 6E this means they will lose one period and for students in 6T this means they will lose two periods. It is important that you work on your 6 slide PPT introduction while you are away. When you get back each class will have a bit of time (less than a period) to finalize it and then we will move on to the next level. Some things to consider:
 * //**You can start this in either Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 or 2007. If you don't have either it is possible to download**// //openoffice.org// // **for free and create slides there. It is very similar to PowerPoint2003 and each of you have enough experience that you can transfer your knowledge to this program. If you do this try to save it as a Word document.** //
 * **//There should be 6 pages - 1) Introduction page, 2) Table of Contents, 3) and 4) and 5) information about you, 6) reference page to list any websites you get pictures from//**
 * **//Use 5 pictures of your family, friends, etc. as well as at least 2 pictures from the Internet or clipart.//**
 * **//The goal of these slides is to introduce yourselves. How are you going to organize the slides? What information goes on each page?//**
 * **//Make sure you format background and text to make it look nice.//**
 * **//Add transitions and animations//**
 * **//Bring your slides in to class by either putting them on a data stick or emailing them to yourself.//**
 * //Good luck and take care of yourselves.//**

//Focus:// Power Point slides can enhance a presentation when the presenter properly creates and uses them during the presentation.
