Power Point Slide Show

Create a Power Point presenting anything you like. It should include the following:

• At least 6 slides - first slide your name
• a hyperlink to another site (highlight words and then insert / hyperlink and click web address to the left and then type web address on bottom)
• a hyperlink to another slide in your presentation (highlight words and then insert / hyperlink and click place in document and then click on the other page)
• graphics (any couple pictures)
• meaningful animation of slide and object (slide transition and object custom animation)
  • for slide transition (view / slide sorter and then right click and choose slide transition and then click on a transition on the right)
  • for object animation (click on an object so you see the box, and then slide show/ custom animation and press add effect on the right)
• never present a blank slide that requires a click to get the first object to appear
  • don't animate everything on the screen so that you have to click just to get something to appear on the screen
• group some animated objects together
  • when you are looking at the custom animation (slide show / custom animation) that was already created on a slide, you see the animations in the box under "add effect". click on the second one (that has a 2) and change the timing from "on click" to "with previous".
    
• no sentences
• pages that are not too crowded
• Either color or picture background
• Use at least one table (insert / table)
  

Every presentation must be submitted into the Powerpoint Submission Discussion Board in Blackboard.

To improve the presentation:

• Limit the information on each page
• Ensure the animation follows the speech
• If you have a table, have each point appear side by side, instead of all of one side first.
• Add pictures that help describe what you are talking about. Often adding a punctuation mark (like a big question mark) or a cartoon are helpful.
• Look at this link: http://www.usd.edu/trio/tut/present.html
  

There is no movie of this exercise, but these skills were also in the Power Point intro assignment:

Please post questions to the help discussion board. The PowerPoint Day has tutorials available.
