PS Ch.7--"HELP!"

If you want to use a motion picture/video or sound in your PowerPoint it is quite simple. It is possible; you can insert a sound or video from Clip Organizer or from a file. Now if you were to insert it from a file you would open the Insert menu. The drop down list appears, you would scroll down till you came across Movies and Sounds. It will then say from clip organizer or from file, this is when you choose from file. Then you would just go to the lesson chapter and find the picture or sound you wanted/need. If you wanted it from Clip Organizer then you would go to the Insert menu and go to Movies and Sounds. The drop box will open, it will read from file or Clip organizer, you will choose Clip Organizer and then just search for the name of the picture or sound and choose the one you want.

PS Ch.6--"Charts and Tables Oh My!"

Tables and charts are really important because they are a visual aid for any data which can be put in any program. Charts, tables, graphs, and all of those are an extensive way to show data easier. Without charts, tables, and graphs we wouldn’t know what we were looking at half the time, unless we take the time to write all the information down and figure it out that way. They prevail in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint because they are very versatile and can be used anywhere, and for anything.

PS Ch.5--"What did YOU Learn"

In this blog we are supposed to write about one of the features we learned about in lesson 5, I am going to write about the Find and Replace feature. This is a really helpful feature, it allows you to change your spelling mistakes in one shot. The find option can take you to a word you are not so sure about, or something you want to look at again. The replace option allows you to replace any word or phrase in a document all in one shot or alone, by itself. These to me are really helpful.

PS Ch.4--"My Future With PowerPoint"

The only reason why I can’t answer this prompt truthfully is because I don’t exactly know what I am going to be doing in my future, but if I were to become a teacher, like I might work towards here is what I see. I might use PowerPoint to show my students the solar system slideshow like in 4-1. I also might use it to teach my students, they could use it to show me what the project is. Now if I were to become something else I could use it to show a project in college, or use it to sell a product or anything else. Until later this is all I can think about.

PS Ch.3--"We Ask Ourselves Why?"

PowerPoint was probably developed to put your points across in a more creative way. With PowerPoint you can show pictures, graphs, tables, information, and a lot more. This is a lot better because you don’t have to waste paper, to hand out to people. I know if we were at an assembly and someone was talking and we just had to sit there I would get extremely bored and impatient. Although I still get antsy, it would just be better if there was a fun little visual show we could see as someone was explaining it. Developers probably saw that people could show a whole presentation without wasting paper and it would be fun and creative.
