Post for Thursday 1/8

Good Morning and Happy Thursday!

I sincerely apologize for not being here today.  I have been asked to attend an important meeting at the district office.  I will be back tomorrow!!

For your blog today, please take a moment to discuss what presentation software is.  What is it used for?  How can it benefit you?  What is PowerPoint specifically and what other programs exist that people could use as a presentation tool?  Feel free to do a quick web search but remember, time management is important and you need to complete this post in the first 10 or so minutes of class.

Once you have completed your post, please see the directions below for today!

1. Complete your Blog
2. Complete Edutyping lesson 18.2
3. Login in to Schoology and download the folder in the assignment titled PowerPoint 2007 Essential Training.  Many of you have already done this. You need to save the file to your home drive.
