Finish PowerPoint and all other work

Assigned: 19 April 2012
Points: 30 points for PowerPoint presentation

Chao Cac Ban!

Today's assignment is to finish the PowerPoint presentation of your best 7- 10 photos. The one I showed you last week can be viewed here.

Check these things about your PowerPoint:
  • The first slide has your full name in a font that is readable
  • You have between 7-10 photos in the presentation
  • There is one photo per slide
  • Each photo has a title that is readable
  • The background doesn't distract from the photos
  • There are transitions between slides, but they do not distract from the photos
  • The presentation runs by itself - that means I don't have to advance the slides
  • Each slide is up for an appropriate amount of time
When you are finished, share the PowerPoint presentation with me using google docs. Share it with me using the address sis.kristin.romberg@gmail.com. If you share with any other email address I won't check it and you won't get any points.

Then be sure you have finished all other assignments this term:

  1. Assignment 1: Google Docs - add to the chart I made, then write a Google Doc about your Tet holiday and share it with me (sis.kristin.romberg@gmail.com)
  2. Assignment 2: Week 1 of Photo Journal - 7 photos, each with 3 sentences

Assignment 10: PowerPoint

Assigned: 12-13 April 2012
Points: 30 points for powerpoint presentation

Chao Cac Ban!

Today we are making a PowerPoint presentation with our best 7-10 photos. The finished product should look something like this.

Each slide has one photo and a caption. Notice that the presentation wasn't full of crazy transitions and animations that would distract from the photos themselves. Also, notice how the presentation runs all by itself. No one needs to advance the slides. Additionally, notice that each slide is up for a long enough time for someone to really look at the picture, but not too long so the viewer is bored.

When you are finished, share the PowerPoint presentation with me using google docs. Share it with me using the address sis.kristin.romberg@gmail.com - If you share with any other email address you won't get any points. You will have the remainder of this class period and part of next week's class period to finish making the PowerPoint.

Be sure you save the PowerPoint in your folder on the server as well. We will be showing these presentations to guests at the beginning of next term. 

If you need to catch up on old assignments, here are the assignments that you have been given so far this term:
  1. Assignment 1: Google Docs - add to the chart I made, then write a Google Doc about your Tet holiday and share it with me (sis.kristin.romberg@gmail.com)
