16. Welcome to ITC’s PowerPoint Workshop What’s wrong with this?

17. Welcome to ITC’s PowerPoint Workshop How can we fix this? Let’s add some color.

18. Welcome to ITC’s PowerPoint Workshop Better, but we still need some improvement. We need some tips on creating a theme.

19. Themes: Tying It All Together Themes unify a presentation Choose a theme that supports the content Choose an appropriate color or color scheme

20. Themes: Tying It All Together Color contrasts can emphasize a point. Colors elicit emotions and set the presentation’s tone Beware of certain colors and combinations

21. A uniform background can also create a cohesive design. Apply a background by right-clicking on the slide background and selecting Background from the menu that appears. You can select a color or image and apply it to as many slides as you like. Implementing a Theme

22. Welcome to ITC’s PowerPoint Workshop Great! Now, how can we apply this to the rest of our presentation? Let’s create a Master Slide.

23. Let’s create a Master Slide -- a single layout that can be applied to the entire presentation for a more unified look. To do this, go to Format then Slide Design or Slide Layout Implementing a Theme

34. Inform Learner of Objectives What Topics Will Be Covered? What Will the Students Learn? Highlight Main Ideas Use Visuals If Possible Use Clear Organization

35. Organizing Information Bullet points are a great way to organize information. Recall the earlier example of good organization. How can you create such a list?

36. Bullet Points To create a numbered list or a list with bullet points, highlight the desired text and click either of these icons. Press Enter or Return to get a new number or bullet point. To edit the list settings, either go to Format then Bullets and Numbering or right-click the list and select Bullets and Numbering from the box that appears.

37. Organizing Information Create a list of objectives Make them clear and concise Highlight main ideas Think beyond lists and use media

38. Recall Prior Knowledge Before we begin the lesson, we should urge students to recall prior knowledge.

39. Recall Prior Knowledge Ask Questions Gauge Students ’ Knowledge Levels Prepare for Lesson Get Students to Think

40. Recall Prior Knowledge Example: When did you last use PowerPoint? Why did you use it? Was it effective? What could you do differently?

41. Present Material Now, we’re ready to present the lesson material.

42. Present Material Organize Material Highlight Main Ideas Repeat Important Information Encourage Thinking, Not Mindless Note Taking

43. Present Material Example: With PowerPoint, you can: Organize ideas Include multimedia Access the internet

44. Provide Guided Learning Use Multimedia Learning Is Enhanced Through Visual Media Show Me

45. Implementing Guided Learning Example: Add clipart or your own images to illustrate your point. How do we add images?

46. Adding Images Images used in the PowerPoint should be very visible of relatively high quality. If it looks bad on a monitor, it will look even worse when blown up by a projector. VS.

47. To add an image to a slide, go to the Insert menu and select Picture From that menu, you can add whatever graphical content you choose. Adding Images

48. To edit an image, click it and drag the small, circular handles to adjust size or rotation. Adding Images

49. For advanced editing features, right-click on the object and select Format Picture This feature can also be accessed by double-clicking the image Adding Images

50. Implementing Guided Learning Example: Visuals add variety and interest to presentations Visuals improve retention and understanding

51. Implementing Guided Learning To maintain attention, we can animate the image.

52. Go to Slide Show > Custom Animation Right-click on the desired object and select Custom Animation A Custom Animation menu will appear. Click the Add Effects button Animation

53. You can now change the speed and direction of the animation.

56. Setting Transitions Two Ways: 1. Automatic  Access Slide Transitions menu  Check Automatically After option 2. On Mouse Click  Access Slide Transitions menu  Check On Mouse Click option

57. Elicit Performance You’ve shown the students what you want them to learn. Now get them to participate.

58. Elicit Performance Insert Places for Q & A Use Notecards to Allow Student Responses and Gauge Learning Insert Interactivity

59. Elicit Performance One strategy is to incorporate interactivity. Try an index card quiz

60. Elicit Performance Why use PowerPoint? Students should answer on a index card or piece of paper Collect the answers Open-ended questions encourage critical thinking

61. Provide Feedback Inform Students of Performance Gauge Progress of Learning Gauge Effectiveness of Lecture

62. Provide Feedback Any questions? Leave time for questions before proceeding Not too much time, however… …because we need test them, now

63. Assess Learning Evaluate Learning Immediately After or During the Presentation Create an Interactive Presentation (Multiple Choice Quizzes in Slides)

64. Assess Performance Assess performance by creating interactive quizzes 1. Build question set 2. Create a slide for each question 3. Create “Correct” and “Incorrect” answer slides 4. Insert interactive buttons

65. Buttons To add buttons, go to Insert > Picture > Autoshapes The Autoshapes palette will appear.

66. Buttons Select the Action Buttons button from the Autoshapes palette. This palette will provide you with a number of button choices.

67. Buttons With the desired button type selected, you can create one anywhere on the side You can use drawing tools to modify line and fill color.

68. Buttons Access Action Setting for the button by right-clicking the button and selecting Edit Hyperlink You can now set button actions

69. Assess Learning Considering all you have learned to this point let ’ s create a simple PowerPoint game 1.First, create a question: 1.Then create three buttons for the possible answers: 1.Create 2 new slides – 1 for the correct answer, and 1 for the wrong answers. How many Earths could fit across the Sun? 11071000

70. Assess Learning Sorry, that answer was incorrect. Please try again. Back

71. Assess Learning Congratulations! You are correct! Approximately 110 Earth’s could fit across the diameter of the Sun. And now, the final step.

72. Enhance Retention and Transfer Use Multimedia Clearly Define Presentation Objectives Repeat important points Evaluate Learning Immediately Use the Web to Supplement Presentations.

73. Enhance Retention and Transfer This workshop is essentially step 9 The Internet can take the lesson beyond PowerPoint. Printouts are also useful

74. The Web Additional insight into the content. To link the Web, type the full site address into PowerPoint: http://www.ysu.eduhttp://www.ysu.edu PowerPoint automatically creates the link

75. The Web You can modify the link by right-clicking it and selecting Edit Hyperlink Normal text can become a link by highlighting it, right-clicking and selecting Hyperlink

76. The Web Remove the link by right-clicking it and selecting Edit Hyperlink and clicking the Remove Link button on the lower left of the window.

77. Enhance Retention and Transfer Now you can add links to sources You can even add your e-mail address This is especially helpful if the presentation is uploaded to the Internet

78. Printing Handouts You can print a copy of the presentation as a handout with one or several slides on one page Go to File > Print

79. Printing Handouts From the drop-down menu, select the print style. 4-6 per page is optimum. 3-per-page provides lines for note taking.

80. Finally… You’re almost done, but you still have a few things left to do.

81. Finalizing and Polishing Play the presentation several times, looking for anything that does not seem to be working. If possible, have an objective party view it for a different opinion. Test everything! Remember: anything that can go wrong, will. Now that the pieces are in place, you must ensure that the gears are turning properly by performing a few simple procedures:

82. Practice the presentation with a stopwatch Know the machine it will be presented on If possible, test the presentation on several other computers Finalizing and Polishing

83. * Remember to save and backup everything often!

84. Conclusion PowerPoint offers a nearly endless number of tools to create instructional presentation PowerPoint is only a tool Interactivity increases learning The only limit is your imagination and willingness to experiment
