1. SUMMER WORKSHOP Power Point Basics By Ms. Ronna

4. Click this icon to save your power point. You can Save it many different ways. As a teacher, if you want to post your presentations on Your website, you should save them in 2003 format, so people who have older computers can access them.

5. You can save both power point and keynote presentations as PDF files and put them on your school rack site for students. You can put power points on your school rack account for students to review. At this time, school rack does not provide the ability to upload keynote or pages to the account. Just save as a PDF to upload. You do not have to put your presentations on the website. You can choose to show the presentations in class only.

6. When you want to insert a movie, music or picture, you must click insert if you are using the PC. You will then have to search through the photos to find the one you want. Double click! The picture goes in!

7. If you are inserting an animation, you do not have to set it to loop if you are using the PC. It loops automatically. With Power point for Mac you will need To set it to Loop. These settings Are in the inspector under custom animations.

8. Inserting a movie into power point on a PC usually requires some additional Software. The movie has to be in MPEG format for Power point to accept it. It is much easier just to create a link to the movie. The converter I use is called AXARA VIDEO CONVERTER…. You can purchase it online & it is wonderful! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CT7x3VnrqbA

9. This video was downloaded free from You tube and Converted using Axara….You only have to click one button to convert a movie to MPEG.
