PowerPoint is a computer program that helps us make presentations. A presentation is like a digital poster that you can show on a screen. 1.2 Opening PowerPoint Turn on the computer. Find the "Start" button (Windows) or the "Applications" folder (Mac). Look for "Microsoft PowerPoint" and click on it. 1.3 Creating a New Presentation When PowerPoint opens, click on "Blank Presentation." You can choose a design later, so don't worry about it for now. Lesson 2: Making Your First Slide Objective: Learn how to add and edit the first slide in your presentation. 2.1 Adding a Title Slide Look at the left side; you'll see a big slide with "Click to add title" and "Click to add subtitle." Click there and type your title and a short description. 2.2 Saving Your Work Click on "File" at the top left. Choose "Save As" and give your presentation a name. Click "Save." *Note: After you have saved your Presentation for the first time, the next time you just have to click the “Save” icon* Lesson 3: Adding More Slides Objective: Discover how to add more slides to your presentation. 3.1 Adding a New Slide To add another slide, look at the top where it says "Home."

Right-click on it, and a menu will appear. Click "Copy" to copy it. Go to the slide where you want to paste it. Right-click on the slide, and choose "Paste Option (Clipboard A)." Lesson 5: Slide Design and Transitions Objective: Learn how to make your slides look nice and add transitions between them. 5.1 Design Ideas Click on "Design" at the top.

Click on "Add Animation" and choose an animation effect, like "Appear" or "Fade." 6.2 Previewing Animations Click on "Slide Show" at the top and choose "From Beginning."
