Brief history PowerPoint's history Bob Gaskins, a former Berkeley Ph.D. student, conceived PowerPoint originally as an easy-to-use presentation program. He hired a software developer, Dennis Austin, in 1984 to build a prototype program that they called "Presenter," later changing the name to PowerPoint for trademark reasons. PowerPoint 1.0 was released in 1987 for the Apple Macintosh platform; later that year Gaskins's company Forethought and the program were purchased by Microsoft for $14 million. The first Windows and DOS versions of PowerPoint followed in 1988. PowerPoint became a standard part of the Microsoft Office suite in 1990. According to Microsoft, more than 30 million presentations are made around the world with PowerPoint every day.

Using PowerPoint The most interesting thing for me is that Powerpoint can create a nice framework for using the internet and other media to organise&present some research Images Web 2.0 apps Webpages Animation Youtube/Google/Video Video

PowerPoint and the web Extending the use of Powerpoint means you have to be a google monkey; there are hundreds of powerpoint resources out there Complete presentations Design templates and free ones Tutorials and more tutorials and even Sharing Powerpoint like you would music

PowerPoint and the web I use powerpoint mainly with weblinks, images and video; rather than give a list of bookmarks you can illustrate your presentation with web content, examples, resources etc. It makes the source of your research more transparent and allows others to follow on from it.

General Web advice I would advise anyone on getting a google account to manage and access bookmarks in school and at home and use the firefox browser instead of internet explorer, it’s open source and has a range of useful extensions like this Firefox Video Downloader Firefox is full of really great extensions

General Web advice Then you can get Google Toolbar that lets you manage the google account, get downloads and access bookmarks; That way any research on the web you do could be accessed remotely; rather than having bookmarks stored locally on your computer.

Example presentation Im going to imagine making a presentation on Jeremy Deller with images, video, audio & weblinks. It would be good to try to follow my lead but make something relevant to you, perhaps with a different artist

YouTube YouTube is increasingly an invaluable tool for education Linking to you tube is one way of working but often you will have restricted youtube access in school. Its best to save the you tube file, there are a variety of things to download to help you do this

YouTube If you were doing something on Carravaggio you could use stuff like this to support more traditional takes on presentations..

YouTube So lets use get tube to download a clip relating to our subject and insert it below

There are a few programmes you can download for free to do this Get Tube is what we are using today and there is also the Firefox extension. You can find other ways of saving youtube movies here and here . Actually KeepVid also looks good

Once you have downloaded the video, you may need to convert the format so powerpoint likes it like a .mov .mpg4 .avi . There are a few programmes you can download for free to do this, VLC player (Open Source) (to convert the video format Get Tube (Mac OSX)

More you tube Downloads upload to youtube firefox addin

YouTube So lets use get tube to download a clip relating to our subject, change it to .mov with Quicktime and insert it next to this text panel

YouTube Now lets make it continue to play into the next 4 slides. Select the movie clip,then choose SlidShow/Animations/Custom like this:

YouTube

YouTube Now this clip should still be playing… now lets add an image ive taken from channel4….

My favourite work by Jeremy Deller Journeyman TV clip of Documentary Background to Battle of Orgreave

Jeremy Deller Jeremy Deller was born in London, educated at Dulwich College and studied the history of art at the Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London. Deller is best-known for his Battle of Orgreave (2001), a recreation of the actual Battle of Orgreave which occurred during the UK miners' strike in 1984. In 1997, Deller embarked on Acid Brass, a musical collaboration with the Williams Fairey Brass Band from Stockport. The project was based on fusing the music of a traditional brass band with acid house and Detroit techno.

Jeremy Deller Deller was winner of the Turner Prize in 2004. His show at Tate Britain included documentation on Battle of Orgreave and an installation Memory Bucket (2003), a documentary about Crawford, Texas – the hometown of George W Bush – and the siege in nearby Waco. In 2006, he was involved in a touring exhibit of contemporary British folk art, in collaboration with Alan Kane. In late 2006 he instigated The Bat House Project, an architectural competition open to the public for a bat house on the outskirts of London.

Jeremy Deller Much of Deller's work is collaborative. His work has a strong political aspect, in the subjects dealt with and also the devaluation of artistic ego through the involvement of other people in the creative process. Folk Archive is a tour of "people's art", outside of the contemporary art institution. Much of his work is ephemeral in nature and avoids commodification.
