essentials
Learn how to create a simple, effective slide show presentation using Microsoft PowerPoint.

(Recommended Time: 2 Hours)
making slides look great
After you've learned the essential features of PowerPoint, take your slide design skills to the next level and master the use of font, paragraph, and shape formatting. We'll cover how to control and customize text bullets, alter margins and line spacing, and all kinds of other features that will help you fine-tune your slides for maximum impact.

This hands-on class will have you creating, editing, and formatting charts and tables within PowerPoint. Other topics include the best practices when copying and pasting from Excel, adding annotations (text, arrows, circles, etc.) and animating them, and techniques on keeping it simple.

Not everyone does great in front of an audience, but this class can help. Attendees will learn everything they need to deliver a great slideshow in front of an audience using PowerPoint's delivery features. We'll cover Presenter Mode (which is like a cheat-sheet for speakers), online delivery tips, the use of remote controls, special keystrokes, and other technical tips and best practices. We'll also review Public Speaking 101 and talk about what makes an effective delivery, touching on confidence, audience participation, goal-setting, and more.
