How should we organize messages? Option 1: Folders Treat the board more like a computer desktop, where users could store the messages in specific folders. Option 2: Board Areas On the main board have specific spaces dedicated for new messages and for read and organized messages. Option 3: Filters Be able to easily filter messages on the main board by person or type of message Message Manipulation Organization Arrangement

The Magic PowerPoint or How to make PowerPoint behave like an Interactive Whiteboard.

Before you start: Open PowerPoint Click Tools Click Options Click Security Tag Click Macro Security Select Medium Close and re-open PowerPoint (you wont have to do any of that again)

Write the PowerPoint presentation as normal, or find the PowerPoint you want to add the macro to. Save it. Write your presentation

Open The Magic PowerPoint (Click enable macros if asked) Click Insert Click Slides from Files Click Browse and then on your chosen ppt Tick Keep Source Formatting Click Insert All Click slide sorter view Delete all the Magic PowerPoint slides except this one. Click save as and rename your PowerPoint Instructions:

To make bits move like magic Right-click on the image or text box you want to move around Click Action Settings Click Run Macro (draganddrop should be in the box) Click OK

How it works: You are adding a macro called DropandDrag. It was written by Hans Werner Hofmann and Ute Simon and their names will appear in the properties of this ppt file. The macro is embedded in this presentation which is why you have to put your slides into it and then save it again with a new name. Oh you can delete any last slides now and the macro will stay.

Troubleshooting Check security settings are medium (recommended) or low (not recommended) Make sure you right-click on the top line of a text box if you want it to move – it will go transparent if clicked in right place.
