(W5) Beyond PowerPoint
Beyond PowerPoint
Wednesday 10th June 2009 ... 9am to 12.15pm
Are you or your students becoming bored using PowerPoint as the main tool for producing presentations ... are you or your students suffering from "Death by PowerPoint" or "PowerPointlessness"? .... then this session is designed specifically for you (or your students).
We will look at some of the alternatives for spicing up presentations and making them more exciting ... not only using software but also web 2.0 online applications.
The alternatives chosen are mainly free, can be learnt in just a few minutes by teachers with very little experience and make use of the slides you have already produced in your old PowerPoints.
We will also look at ways in which students can build and share their presentations collaboratively. In addition you will be shown where to find free (legal) resources for presentations (images, videos and sound files) .... and clarify how to copyright your own resources.
If you are attending this session then please click on "comments" below and introduce yourself ... please include information which you think will help me to customise the session to be more suitable to your individual needs. e.g. what ICT skills and experiences do you already have, are you already using it in class, what expectations do you have for this session.

Hi, me again. I would like to learn how to spice up my powerpoint slides as they are rather boring at the moment. How do I source for interesting video clips apart from Youtube? How do I insert video clips into powerpoint mode so that it forms part of my presentation without me having to come out of it? Where can I access and how do I insert moving icons onto powerpoint slides? how do I insert photos? I guess some of these are repeat Qs as knowing how to do one will probably lead to knowing the rest? Thank you and see you at the workshop.
I would like to learn 1) where to look for nice templates which are compatible with MS PPT. 2) how to insert video clips into the ppt presentation 3) pointers about effective presentation of material in PPT 4) how to insert other stuff that could inject more animation into PPT slides 5) any other advanced stuff that ppt is capable of doing which partially IT challenged people like myslef are not aware of.
