Description:
Teachers and students across the country and across the curriculum are creating informative and eye-catching presentations with Microsoft's best-selling PowerPoint slide presentation program. Trainers agree that Janet Caughlin's just-released PowerPoint Workshop for Teachers is the best tutorial on the market--bar none—for unleashing the power of PowerPoint into your classroom. Janet has poured her expertise as a nationally respected K-12 trainer and author, as well as her 29 years of classroom experience as a teacher, into this resource. It's your quickest introduction and best reference tool for PowerPoint.

  • Following the same style that has made Janet's AppleWorkshop series a runaway best seller with teachers, the step-by-step lessons in PowerPoint Workshop for Teachers contain tons of screen shots and clear visuals. You follow right along on the computer, using templates you open from the accompanying CD-ROM. Each activity teaches a few new ideas and reinforces ideas taught previously.

  • This book has been carefully designed to help both first timers as well as advanced users make better use of their valuable teaching time. You can learn at your own pace. Trainers can print individual lessons to teach specific PowerPoint concepts, or they can use the book as the basis of a complete stand-alone class or training unit.

  • PowerPoint Workshop for Teachers is the only PowerPoint tutorial for teachers that has simultaneous and complete coverage of both the Macintosh and Windows versions of PowerPoint 97, 98 and 2000. Whether you are a teacher trainer dealing with different versions and/or platforms or just looking to understand what's new in 2000, you will appreciate this book's seamless integration and focus on all the key differences.

  • This book covers all aspects of creating a dynamic PowerPoint presentation from start to finish. PowerPoint Workshop for Teachers also covers advanced topics like inserting sounds, publishing to the web, sharing presentations, and using viewers and converters.
