PowerPoint is a powerful way for you to give your oral presentation to your class. Instead of using note cards or a poster, you can use the computer. You may add pictures, sounds, and lots of color. Let's look at the new vocabulary we're going to be talking about. Take a moment after you hear me pronounce each word and pronounce it yourself. First one, slides, insert, format, fonts, preview, view, outline, ribbon, navigating, design, theme, thumbnail, drag and drop, dialog box. That was very good. Let's go to the next slide. PowerPoint ribbon. The ribbon is the strip of buttons across the top of the main window. We can create a new presentation by selecting file and then new. Saving a presentation. You need to select file, then save as. And most importantly, give it a special name by typing that name inside the file name box, and then click save. Now to open an existing presentation, one that you have already saved, you select file, then open. Now we're going to add a slide. Go to the home ribbon and select the new slide button. Formatting fonts. This home tab also allows you to change all parts of the font size and style. Fonts are the type of text that you type in your text boxes. Now let's add some color. We can add a slide theme from the gallery. You go to the design ribbon and you select a design theme from the theme toolbar. Congratulations! You're ready to preview your presentation. Just go to the slideshow ribbon and you can either click on from beginning or click on from current slide. There are different ways to look at your PowerPoint show. To show the slideshow as outline notes, you can click on outline view. Now we're ready to print. All you have to do is select file, then select print. A dialog box appears that allows you to select the number of copies to be printed. Hey, thanks for watching! Do you have any questions now? Well, let's get busy and study some more vocabulary and grammar around PowerPoint presentations and then we'll get ready to make our own show.
