AR: The PowerPoints that we have done have been pretty good, but the better one’s have used animation, photos, and other graphics to be more exciting. To make PowerPoints better they have to be a presentation and not be too wordy. You have to make it exciting for the viewer. (3-5 min.)

2.) Mini-lesson: Exploiting PowerPoint’s features.

Everyone open up PowerPoint and click on the Animation button.

Then click on the Transition scheme button. This is where you can really start to make your presentations more exciting.

You notice that there are 20 sum odd different transition schemes.

Then you have to decide whether you want to manipulate the slide, or whether it will automatically run.

Now you all know how to place photos or images in the PowerPoint.

You can even include videos and sounds that can be found also in the layout button.
