Create a “folder” called CT_summit_presentation or CT_capstone on your thumb/flash drive or desktop. It is best to save in at least 2 places. In this folder place your PowerPoint and your documents/artifacts you are going to use. These will be your working folders. When completed, you will post this on your website.

Be sure to save documents as html/web documents so they will open up immediately.

DESIGNING YOUR PRESENTATION You are free to design your layout of slides and how they look aesthetically. Remember, as you are presenting, everyone should be able to see each artifact and slide clearly. Also remember that you do not want movements and sounds that are not tied to the presentation. Example: Don’t make your words come in with a whoosh, etc.
