What Week is this?

Brief overview of the what's next in this class: We are going to start PowerPoint this week. We are going to take advantage of our block day by going over the TroubleShooting steps to solve computer problems and then learn about the personal computer revolution.
I will add commentary to the made for television movie, Pirates of Silicon Valley. You will be taking very clear and thorough notes because you will be recreating this movie (your version) in a PowerPoint animation presentation.

The next couple of weeks will look something like this:
Watch a little movie, learn a little PowerPoint, practice typing, watch a little movie, learn a little PowerPoint, practice typing, watch a little movie, learn a little PowerPoint, practice typing, watch a little movie,
learn about the project requirements, work on the project, set deadlines, present projects—have fun while we're learning! Yay!

Today, we will watch a little more of the movie after we talk and look at the PowerPoint Interface Handout:

Definition Alert:

PowerPoint is a very powerful tool that allows you to create professional slideshow presentations and animations which can include multimedia elements such as: images, music, video, and hyperlinks on the Internet.
