May 5, 2008 – Copy the newsletter. Here are appropriate graphics and pics to choose from









March 5, 2008 - NEW PROJECT! --- a fun one I trust. You are to make a presentation (i.e., PowerPoint-type presentation) of 8-12 slides. Directions and samples are below (right-click to download). Later we will put them in web-ready format.

YOUR PRESENTATION TOPIC may be any of the following: My Family; My Awesome Friends; My World & Welcome To It; My Favorite Things.

REQUIREMENTS: 8-12 slides; must use several CALLOUTS of different shapes and sizes (see instruction presentation and handout); must use several backgrounds including PICTURES as backgrounds, COLORS as backgrounds, and a GRADIENT, HATCING and/or BITMAP background. Use pictures and text on most pages; use a couple transitions. If you can set it to automatically change slides after so many seconds, if you can use sound, if you can use animations, if you can use a picture with a transparent background, etc. -- so much the better!

DON'T RUSH! – look at the samples first, then the instructions, and then try things. Remember the first rules of computing!!! Make a directory (folder) for your project and its pictures; you don't “HAVE” to, but it's best to keep everything in one folder and its sub-directories. (A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE.)

February 7, 2008 today you will download this file and make it look like this:

You WILL have a TRANSPARENT background, so that if you place the E over a colored background or an image, ONLY the red E shows up with NO white box around it--!! :-D
