Talking Power Point

Okay, so after all the self-induced angst, I have to say that the talking power point was a lot of fun. I could really get into this techno stuff once I overcome some of the bumps. I'm disappointed that after working on the power point and figuring out the audio piece--[thank you for your help, Brett(Watson)!] I read that we were supposed to venture out and not use clip art! Well, I'll get what I earned and know that next time I have to pay attention to assignment details much earlier in the game.
So, this was the second power point I've ever done independently. But I had some guidance from a (high school)senior who helped me with design (background and graphics)and animation. After Brett gave me the basics on the audio (yes, there's a toolbar but it's so much easier to ask someone else who's in the know!)I figured out the custom animation piece myself: going from slide to slide with the sound corresponding to the correct slide. Feels good!

Sign in, dashboard, new post. So that's how to post! Alright, so I'm technologically ignorant, I admit. Don't have any idea how to begin some of these assignments, so I'm forced to ask. Somebody's got to know. Can't feed my fear forever, there's no time!
Trying to think up a power point.....class rules, social skills, basic arithmetic. And then to figure out the voice part. Due Friday.
