Power Point
PowerPoint Assignment
I had a notion of how a PowerPoint assignment could help us get a sense of Twain's life. It would go like this:
-Get your period of Twain’s Life
-Start to create a PowerPoint presentation on the period
-Use Boondocksnet.com and any other Twain sites
-Use Photoshop to cut, crop and manipulate photos you find using a Google photo search
-Use Photoshop to cite the source of your pictures—paste the URL on the image
-At the bottom of each slide, you should cite the source of the information contained
-See what features you can learn on PowerPoint—animations, transitions and effects
but I ran into a significant problem...
