II - Multimedia with PowerPoint . We want to make sure that everyone has a good feel for one of the most used technology tools in most schools - PowerPoint. We will give you some basics about the types of presentations you can create with PowerPoint and provide some tutorials to help you if you are having difficulties. View each of the resources below.

  • Lecture/Discussion - Multimedia: Linear, Non-Linear
  • PowerPoint Tutorial - How to make a Basic PowerPoint show. If you have some experience with PowerPoint you could probably skip this one. This is done with PowerPoint 2003, but you will find that it is very similair to the PowerPoint 2007 on your machines.
