PowerPoint contains many useful features for adding interactivity to your presentations, and it can add interest. Participants will make an interactive slideshow using video capabilities of a digital camera. Two easy types of interactivity that can be included into any PowerPoint presentation are navigation and feedback. For navigation, participants will use onscreen buttons and text for a branching structure, allowing the user to visit the sections as they wish or to provide the option to gain more information on topics of interest. For feedback, slides will present questions and offer choices of answers. PowerPoint slides are a useful means of introducing new information to students. However, they can also be utilized to allow students to make choices, test knowledge, and give immediate feedback. To make a presentation interactive, you must first develop a plan. The purpose of this presentation is to test knowledge hence a feedback slide will be created. The feedback slide will be hyperlinked. To make the presentation more entertaining, a video clip of the teacher will be inserted with sound. If you have started your Advanced and have not completed, this class will substitute for Advanced V.
