PowerPoint workshop

I attended a PowerPoint workshop today in the eclass, presented by Michael Fimian. This was the 3rd of a 3-part series on PP; I only attended today, which meant that I was only a little lost. I learned that there is a new version of PP: 2003, which is part of Microsoft Office 2003. I have a copy of the cd-rom with 2003 on it, if anyone wants to install it on their computer. I for one did not have 2003, so it was helpful that Michael had the cd. He said that it is perfectly legal to install it both at home and at work.

I also learned that PC subscribes to http://www.presentationpro.com, which has thousands of powerpoint templates. Michael used one of them for the instruction today. I have the username and password to access PC's account. The templates are available for download.

Michael also mentioned the Instructional technology development program's web site http://itdp.providence.edu
where he has many different things available, including training for the various software used on campus.
