PowerPoint

I began using powerpoint a few years ago and once I got the hang of it....I really liked it. It's a great way to "dazzle" up any presentation. I learned how to use it basically through a trial and error process. There are so many interesting things you can do and I wanted to try to use all the neat techniques, however, I also found that too much "dazzle" in the layout of my presentation seemed to take away from information I was trying to get across. Personally, with something like this, I think one has to determine what kind of effect is appropriate for the presentation they are giving. And often, less is more. The website below is a good way to start to understand powerpoint if you are a first time user. It doesn't cover everything, but it is a great place to start!
