POWERPOINTS for Elementary Music

GOALS:

Help music teachers use technology to make their job easier, use less paper, meet frameworks, and teach folk songs to our

students.

Review computer skills, copy, paste, attach, save, save as, etc.

Help teachers feel comfortable using technology.

I will set up an index with examples from PowerPoint 2007 for the teachers to use when they need help.

Reference Link:

Open PowerPoint. Start with a blank slide.

SAVING OPTIONSPowerPoint 2007 has multiple file saving options.

SAVE (*.pptx): Default option saves as 2007 version and usually generates smallest file size. To open this file, people will need 2007‟s software OR the free “2007Compatibility Software” from Microsoft installed on their PC.

SAVE AS 97-2003 (*.ppt) allows the old software to open the file without needing the Compatibility software.

Save As PowerPoint Show (*.ppsx) creates file that opens directly into the show without needing user action.
