Powerpoint

Today I attempted to make a hasty presentation using Microsoft Powerpoint 2007, the newest update in Microsoft Office. Despite a rubbish topic that I had not much interest in, it was a learning experience and I was surprised to find how easy Powerpoint is to use after so many years of neglect.

Even though I don't fully understand the master slide concept, I can see how it would be useful when using a custom template, and trying to apply that throughout the slideshow. I have yet to grasp the subtleties of the software though.

Also, I was pleased to see how easy it was to use Publisher and create a slideshow online. I have had online lectures in my other subjects, with audio narration, and I always thought it would be a chore to record voice, create slides and upload it for people to see. Happily, it is easier than I thought and I am sure that I will use audio for my final project.

All in all, today's e-learning lesson was a pleasant experience and I am glad to have got in touch with my powerpoint skills as I know that will probably be essential in the future. The decision to choose this CDS seems to be paying off after all.
