Shelli’s answers
I was fortunate to find the below address to build my
PowerPoint presentation
http://www.gcflearnfree.org/powerpoint2010
This website taught me the basics with videos and step by
step screenshots and instructions.
Building a tables, screen clipping pictures and organizing was
the easy part for me.
Luckily, I had help from Natalia to do page numbers- My
most difficult skill to use. Also PowerPoint I had never built a
PC presentation before this class. I am from the age of paper
presentation boards and handouts.
Word has been extremely involved in my current school life
in my classes. I have even taught some seasoned
professionals some of the new tricks.
