I hope that you enjoyed our whirlwind tour through Excel and PowerPoint today. Your assignments for this week are these:
1. Complete a version of the idea you had for using Excel in the classroom. Upload it in Google Docs, Publish it, and copy the link into a post on your blog.
2. Create a simple PowerPoint either for use in the future as an in-service teacher or for a class you're taking right now. The minimum requirements are these:
* at least 5 slides
* transitions between all slides
* animations on all bulleted lists
* at least 1 picture
* a slide design (background, color scheme, etc.)
You can either go conservative on this - with the same transitions and animations throughout the presentation - or you can play with the program and have different transitions and animations, sounds, etc. I just want you to feel comfortable using the program. I would also be very pleased if you go beyond the minimum requirements and make this something truly useful.

How would you like the PowerPoint turned in? Burn it to a disk? E-mail you a copy? Come prepared to show it next week?
Just bring it with you, completed, next week. I'm deciding how to have you submit it.
I'm feeling dumb. how do I put the excel doc onto my blog?
SuAnn is S. don't know why it's posting under that...
To post it on your blog, you'll need to go into Publish on the google spreadsheet and get the web address for the file, then copy it into a post on your blog.
