More and more students are required to use PowerPoint for assignments. Teachers love PowerPoint to add pizazz to lesson plans. This site provides clear instructions on how to get the most out of the program.
Have you ever wondered how to add sound to PowerPoint? Do you want to create a learning center that's attractive and has solid content? PowerPoint in the Classroom is a free website that will walk you through the steps of creating a powerful PowerPoint presentation.
The PowerPoint In The Classroom website is produced by ACT360 Media in conjunction with the Microsoft Corporation. The web site has bright, colorful, retro-graphics. More importantly it is easy to navigate and understand. The site provides step by step instructions on using the PowerPoint program. The Meeting PowerPoint section provides an introduction to the program which includes definitions, tool bar help and more.
The site goes into great detail about slide creation, making changes, adding images and sounds and much more. I especially like the "Taking It With You" section. Many professional presenters could benefit from reading this section.
There are quizzes to check comprehension. The site also includes tutorials that can be printed and a teachers section. Don't over look visiting the DENHome. There are tutorials there for other programs such as Frontpage, Outlook Express, and Internet Explorer.
