Welcome to this two day class. We will be doing several different things with PowerPoint (ppt) besides a presentation. If you have something in mind that you wish to work on that is not in the suggested project list let me know. There is always the possiblity of an instructor approved project. I hope you enjoy the class and find something to take back to your classroom for the Fall.
