PowerPoint Help

1. http://www.microsoft.com/canada/home/home-office/articles/help-find-powerpoint-answers.aspx

2. I found this website helpful in providing the basics on creating and adjusting your PowerPoint slides. Prior to looking at this website, I did not know that it was possible to create a master slide, so that all of your slides within the presentation can be unified by having the same layout.

Also this website provides steps on how to create your own background for slides. Doing this allows for a completely unique presentation, and would be extremely helpful when using PowerPoint as a teacher. You can modify the background so that it ties in with the theme of what your presentation is about.

The website goes on to explain how to insert files, animation and videos into your presentation. These are all useful techniques to know, so that you can make the most out of your presentation. When using PowerPoint for younger children it is important to keep the presentation exciting, so the students pay attention without becoming bored. Animation, videos and various files you may have are key ways to maintain a successful PowerPoint presentation.
