Powerpoint+-+Introduction

Most of us have already used Powerpoint many times. However, sometimes students (and adults) make many common mistakes. This section has been set up so that you will learn some new skills that you might not have used before. I have six tutorials for you to use while you are learning Powerpoint, then we will do some activities where you can apply information you know and make something more personal for yourself.

Here are the tutorials. You need to do them in order because each one builds on the previous one. __// Please do not print these out as some of them are very long and will use a great deal of paper. //__

One more note: __** // Each tutorial will have you re-save what you have already done with a new name // **__. This is so I can see your progress. Please pay attention to the directions very carefully so you do not miss silly directions like naming files! You should have 5-6 Powerpoint files when you finish these tutorials.
 * __Creating Your First Slide Show __
 * __Work with Themes and Backgrounds __
 * __Add Headers and Footers to Your Handouts __
 * __Adding Custom Animations __
 * __Apply Slide Transitions to Your Presentation __
 * __Getting Rid of the White Background From Pictures __

When you finish these six tutorials, stop for the day. We will start doing more personalized activities later this week.
