Have you discovered all that PowerPoint can do?   Often one hears the words 'Death by PowerPoint' but in fact this programme has a HUGE variety of wonderful uses that you may not know about.  These two webinars will outline these uses. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <strong><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This week’s webinar</span></strong><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>Name</u>:Did you know PowerPoint could do all this?<br /><u>Summary</u>: This is a two part series about Microsoft's PowerPoint. In this first webinar we introduce you to some of the amazing things that can be done with PowerPoint. A subtitle for this webinar could be 'Ten things that you can do using PowerPoint apart from the normal use of making a presentation'. You will be shown each of these in detail. But these amazing uses won't be all - next week we'll continue with more PowerPoint features that you might not know about. Join us!<br /><u>Presenter:</u> Fiona Beal from SchoolNet<br /><u>Start Time</u>: Wednesday June 12th at 3:30 PM<br /><u>Duration</u>: 15 - 30 minutes<br /><u>URL</u>: <a href="http://meet78641452.adobeconnect.com/powerpoint1/">http://meet78641452.adobeconnect.com/powerpoint1/</a><br /><u>Access</u>: Anyone who has the URL for the meeting can enter the room</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It will be great if you can attend this webinar. If it is your first time in attending an Adobe Connect webinar you might be prompted to install an add-in. If so, just follow the prompts. See you in the cloud maybe!
