Getting up to speed with Microsoft PowerPoint 2016

Note that this project is for PowerPoint 2016

Students regularly create presentations using PowerPoint but all too often, have not been shown some of the key features.

This pack of 4, one-hour lessons covers:

• Launching PowerPoint and the Opening Screen
• Design Themes and Variants
• Inserting and manipulating items (text, wordart, pictures)
• Animations
• Transitions
• Hyperlinks
• The final lesson brings it all together, asking students to create a short presentation using all that they have learnt.

Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions, and a BIG BIG thanks for looking (as a full time practising teacher, I KNOW how time consuming this process can be).

ALL my postings are FULLY “classroom-tested” - before I publish, my lessons are tested by both myself and colleagues, rigorously evaluated and discussed, and continually updated to maximise their effectiveness. But there is always the possibility of error and room for improvement, so do please provide constructive feedback.
