PowerPoint - More Than Just a Slide Show



It's very important to understand that anytime we learn a new program, such as PowerPoint, we learn it in pieces. It's similiar to when you visit a new mall or theme park; you have to look at your surroundings and study them.

We use PowerPoint, at the beginning of the year, as a drawing template for learning how to use our drawing tools. We are learning how to use our shapes, fill shapes, change line color, and move an object. We know how to duplicate an object, undo our mistakes, and group an object with multiple parts.

These steps are important in learning how to use some basic functions of PowerPoint and to prepare us for our Halloween project called "Pumpkins with Attitude."
