One of the
best Christmas videos is the Polar Express, with Tom Hanks as the voice
of the conductor. It is the story of children who travel to the North
Pole in a special steam engine: No. 1225, the Pere Marquette. No. 1225
is the only steam engine named after a priest and it served for many
years in Michigan. Our PowerPoint presentation will use the Pere
Marquette as our theme. The images and videos will be used to teach how
to animate multimedia. There are two
methods for working with videos in PowerPoint: linked and embedded.
Linking to a site like YouTube (copying the EMBED code), means that you
have to be online to play the video. Adding the video to your
presentation (embedding the multimedia) means you can play it anytime:
you do not have to be online So, let's look at the options.
Start Microsoft PowerPoint
What do you see? Is there a Title Bar that says Microsoft PowerPoint? Yes. Is there a
Home Ribbon with
the Clipboard, Font and Paragraph Groups? Yes.
If your screen looks similar to the
example on this page, then you are ready to get started.
This lesson is dedicated to Fr. John Rocus,
who likes steam engines and train bells...
and Saint Philomena |
