Most students had experience using Kidpix software from Technology Project I, the comparatives project . Students use the lab after school as part of a special program in conjunction with Media Workshop. They are instructed in how to use PowerPoint. Students are able to insert their own illustrations as well as photos taken during the project, which have been scanned in at Media Workshop. Students may also insert clipart and photos taken with a digital camera.
Students insert text, images, change the font, color of text and the background of their slides.
Students layout the design of their presentation, insert action buttons and transitions. Students share their presentations with their classmates. After a hardcopy is printed, students make revisions and additions to their presentations. Students share their final presentations.
