Introduction to PowerPoint 2000 P art 1 Carteret County Schools Staff Development Winter

The Lesson This PowerPoint lesson was created with PowerPoint so that you can see for yourself just how creative you can get with your own lesson presentation in the classroom. You can hook your classroom computer up to a television or other display device*and “wow” your students with colors, animation, and other special effects AND at the same time present the material in your Standard Course of Study AND at the same time demonstrate how students can use PowerPoint to present the results of their own class projects (which is in keeping with the NC Computer Skills/Technology competencies). *Ask me how to do this! END

Why Use PowerPoint? The colors, animations, and sounds within PowerPoint will get your students’ attention! You will only have to “write” the presentation once (instead of countless times on the black or white board)! You can face your students during the presentation (even though we know you have eyes in the back on your head)! When you model the use of PowerPoint within your lessons, your students will be more inclined to use it for their own presentations and projects. And hey! It’s a fun way to teach! END

How Easy is PowerPoint To Use?  Good news! If you are familiar with Microsoft Word, you already have most of the skills needed to use PowerPoint!  Of course, once you get really good at creating simple PowerPoint presentations, you will probably want to get clever and add video clips, music, and animation…and that is more complicated…but let’s start with the basics, OK? END

Adding Transitions You can add Transitions to any or all of your slides… these transitions help to present each slide in an animated way. The Transition added to this slide is called “Uncover Right Down.” PowerPoint has a list of Transitions you can choose from and also lets you preview what the Transition will look like before you apply it to your slide. You can apply any Transition to any slide or all slides in your presentation. END

Printing Your Presentation  You can print your presentation the same way you would print any word-processed file.  In the PowerPoint Print dialog box, you are given the option to print your presentation as: Slides: Will print out each slide on its own page in the same colors, in grayscale, or in black and white. Handouts: Will place several slides on one page…you can choose to print 2, 3, 6, or 9 slides per page. Notes: Prints the slide and any notes you may have written under the slide (we didn’t do that yet, but this can be very useful to the presenter). Outline: Prints your presentation in text-only outline form. Great for handouts! END

Now It’s Your Turn!  Now that you have seen some of the ways PowerPoint can be used in your classroom, it’s time for you to create your own PowerPoint Presentation!  You will create a total of 5 slides, print them out as directed, and turn them in to me for your Technology CEUs.
