PowerPoint Project

Our next two projects deal with learning and using PowerPoint. Many of you have already used PowerPoint to make a presentation for a class. We will be taking a look at how to use PowerPoint effectively. PowerPoint is powerful, but power often corrupts! Check out these links before you start anything:

Your Projects:

• Teacher Presentation - Talk to one of your instructors, and make a PowerPoint presentation for an upcoming lesson (at least 2 weeks in advance). Collaborate with your instructor to make sure your idea is on target.
• Personal Introduction - This presentation will become part of your portfolio and will serve as a means of introducing yourself to others. We will be videotaping you to add a visual introduction. Include info on education, goals, work and volunteer experience, skills, hobbies, etc.

Have fun!
