PowerPoint Preparing a Basic Student
Presentation
  • This presentation is a review of basic
    fundamentals.
  • The Librarians at Brother Martin will assist you

    presentation,
  • saving it to the network, transferring it via
    e-mail and signing up to have it placed in a
    teachers class folder.

Please Note
  • The following is intended to provide general
    information to Brother Martin students preparing
    presentations for class use. For any assignment,
    your teacher and the Librarians will give you
    specific guidelines to follow.

Why use PowerPoint?
  • Visual demonstration to illustrate a lesson
  • Use photos, charts, maps, graphics
  • Dont read to audience presentation should
    offer key terms and graphics to support your
    lecture
  • Dark background, light text projects best
  • Word art, unnecessary animation (movement) and
    busy backgrounds distract audience
  • Possible to imbed (link) web sites, import sound

Creating a PowerPoint Presentation
  • Locate and save some images
  • From the Internet, right click on a picture
  • Then Save As
  • on school computers, save to your T\ drive
  • at home save to your hard drive or a CD to later
    e-mail to school
  • name the graphic
  • .jpeg or .gif files work best
  • You may also right click on an image, left click
    on copy, open the PowerPoint slide and right
    click and paste the image in location.
  • We can also scan images save to your T space on
    the network.
  • NO jump drives or CDs are allowed at school.

5
Open PowerPoint
  • Blank presentation
  • Select new slide
  • Create title slide
  • Click on each section, type words
  • Use standard word processing tools bold,
    italics, font, size, justification, etc.
  • Go to Format, select slide color scheme or
    background, apply to all

6
Create Graphics Slide
  • Insert new slide
  • Choose slide layout with picture or a blank slide
  • Insert picture-from file-look in your T\ spaced
    for previously saved graphics - click on image
    name insert
  • To crop View-Toolbars- Picture- Click on image,
    click on crop (hatch marks)
  • To outline Picture toolbar click on 3 parallel
    lines- Select line width or select more lines-
    line color style - OK

Key Icons to Know
  • Lower left corner of screen
  • Normal view - shows text and slide side by side
  • Outline view - text only
  • Slide view - largest editing view of a single
    slide
  • Slide sorter view
  • rearrange slides by clicking and dragging
  • icons show if slide is animated, has transitions
    or is timed
  • Slide show presentation as audience will view
    it

8
Slide Movement can be used for emphasis
  • Transitions Slide show - Slide Transitions -
    pull down menu - choose one - apply to all
  • Animations Slide show - Custom animations
    Timing Effects OK
  • Note that random transitions and animations can
    detract from your presentation. Audience looks
    for special effects and attention to content is
    lost.
  • If e-mailing a presentation, avoid animation and
    transitions as both require large amounts of
    space.
  • Free-mail accounts (i.e. Hotmail) limit size of
    e-mail attachments. Wait until your final
    presentation is saved to your T space before
    animating or installing transitions.

    each slide for notes) or six per page

    Folder, provides additional information.

    distinctive title

  • If you work on your presentation at home and want
    to continue working on it at school, you must
