Welcome to the PowerPoint 2016 Essentials workshop. PowerPoint is a powerful presentation platform for presenting visual and graphical items. You can do everything from creating simple handouts to developing an animated presentation with audio.
This module introduces students to a PowerPoint presentation and the different ways of creating presentations. We look at inserting, modifying, ordering and formatting slides, as well as using handouts and notes. We also look at presentation options, views, and printing procedures.
Now it’s time to put some content on your slides. This module covers how to insert and format most of the content you will regularly use: text, shapes, text boxes, and images. You’ll also learn how to order, align, and group objects.
Text, shapes, and images aren’t the only items you can add to your presentation. This module introduces the other types of content you can easily add from a content placeholder, including tables, charts, SmartArt, and media.
The information in this module can help you to create a presentation that really dazzles your audience. You’ll learn how to apply slide transitions, animate slide content, and set the timing for transitions and animations.
Now you’re ready to show your work by presenting your slideshow. This module looks at ways to configure and present a slideshow. We’ll also take it to the next level by discussing issues for working in multiple presentations. To finish the module, we’ll look at finalizing presentations to protect, inspect, preserve and export presentations.
Although this workshop is coming to a close, we hope that your journey to improve your PowerPoint 2016 Essentials skills is just beginning. Please take a moment to review and update your action plan. This will be a key tool to guide your progress in the days, weeks, months, and years to come. We wish you the best of luck on the rest of your travels.
