2. Notice to PSEP Educators 1. Keep this Slide Number 2 as “hidden” so that it will not be seen during your presentation. 2. After each question is addressed with your audience during the Jeopardy Game, click on the “tree” graphic in the lower right hand corner in order to return back to the Jeopardy game board rather than using the typical “slide advance” method. 3. The color of the “point numbers” on the Jeopardy game board (Slide 3) will be subdued after completing each question. Then, you’ll know which question/answer combinations have already been played. 4. To reset the colors for all point numbers, just exit the PowerPoint file and re-open it. 5. To “Calibraineous -- 50 Points” slide refers to the DRIFTSIM software that was distributed to you for the 2006 PSEP. You have the option to use this slide to introduce and demonstrate DRIFTSIM. Then, return back to the PowerPoint presentation by “X-ing” out of DRIFTSIM. a. A green “Start DRIFTSIM” button is at the bottom of this PowerPoint slide. Placing your cursor over this button and left-clicking will boot the DRIFTSIM program on your computer. b. Procedure: Copy all DRIFTSIM files from the DRIFTSIM CD into a created folder on your hard disk. I suggest creating a “DRIFTSIM” subdirectory under “Program Files” and copy all DRIFTSIM files and folders to this location. c. IMPORTANT: In this slide, edit the “Start DRIFTSIM” button hyperlink in PowerPoint to locate the “DRIFTSIM.EXE” file on your hard disk. This button is currently “hyperlinked” to the “DRIFTSIM.EXE” file as found on my computer. It will need to be changed to locate this file on your computer. 6. Edit the questions/answers in this PowerPoint file as you wish to localize your PSEP program. 7. Adapt this PowerPoint Jeopardy Game for other Extension programs and audiences. 8. Enjoy this Extension delivery method. - Larry Schulze, Professor Emeritus
