PowerPoint Extreme Makeover

I am starting a job on monday where they told me they create a calendar for the Residents (it's an Assisted Living Facility) -- so they can check the calendar and see what is going on on each day for the month. first they print it out on 11x17 paper and then they project it onto a flat screen on the wall so that all the Residents can go to the flat screen and look and see what is happening. I do not have PP on my computer and am trying to learn this from watching tutorials on YouTube. Help?

If you have internet access, you can create a slide deck with something like Google Presentations. Another option is to download Open Office which is free and has a presentation application.

I would suggest posting single screens for each event rather than a copy of a calendar. They likely wouldn't be able to read it anyway.

Its very good, full of wonderful information.. but I think that if you got to the "point" and after 8mins.. omg.. I am sleepy.. I will make it through it because I think it will be worth it.. *Yawns*

Very nice movie. some very good tips about how to use PowerPoint, or how not to use it...

I disagree with deelybob. I thought Dean's speaking skills were pretty good... very "conversational." I also learned a lot from his presentation. Thank you, Dean, for sharing this. I will check out your website.

in a word....pontificate.

Nice tutorial! Should be required viewing for a powerpoint user.

thanks!

Excellent information. I learned more from this videp thank from what I have read so far. Experience is a key factor to teach. Thank you for sharing this valuable resource.

Thanks so much for putting up this video. I have been teaching and now I know why my students can't last for over an hour. I got so much to improve now. Take care.
