Interactive Presentation

Today we learned more about what we can do with Powerpoint. Mr. Case showed us a few of the most annoying effects a person can do like animation with each letter/word, adding sounds while you're talking, automatic transition while presenting, etc.

He also told us a way to save our presentations so that it would automatically show up as a slide show. You just save it as pps. Also, if you have effects that other computers might not have or if a computer doesn't have Powerpoint at all, you can click 'Pack and Go' and your whole presentation is saved which means that any effects would still work in any other computer. There are also things like Spell Check which is common to most Microsoft Office and there should be no reason to have any spelling errors; no reason for me to misspell Bibliography again.

What caught my attention the most was the interactive presentation. Mr. Case described it as the most adventurous presentation out of all because it interacts with the audience itself. Actually, it's not even a presentation. It's more like a game.

This is how it works. You might have several slides which might connect with one another. On the first slide, you can have buttons that links it to different slides. You can access these buttons by going to 'Slide Show' and then, 'Action Buttons'. When you've done this, there are a couple of options that are given to you and you choose whichever one you want. For example, you can link the button to the fourth slide or seventh.

Well, that's all I really remember. When I find out a bit more about this, I'll jot down some notes.
