Team Northern Tie

Shelli’s answersI was fortunate to find the below address to build my PowerPoint presentationhttp://www.gcflearnfree.org/powerpoint2010

This website taught me the basics with videos and step by step screenshots and instructions.

Building a tables, screen clipping pictures and organizing was the easy part for me.

Luckily, I had help from Natalia to do page numbers- My most difficult skill to use. Also PowerPoint I had never built a PC presentation before this class. I am from the age of paper presentation boards and handouts.

Word has been extremely involved in my current school life in my classes. I have even taught some seasoned professionals some of the new tricks.
