Summer+Service+Presentations

You have all done incredible work this summer, and will now have the opportunity to share that experience with your classmates and myself!

 * Time Limit: **2.5-4 minutes. No more than four minutes, please!


 * Topic: ** Include the concepts below:
 * How you got the idea for your project.
 * Why this was a great choice for you.
 * What you did - what it accomplished.
 * Others involved in the project.
 * Your feelings/reactions/reflections.


 * Slides: Include SIX slides. **
 * Have one COVER SLIDE with your name, the title of your presentation and a relevant picture.
 * The next slides can consist of whatever you like, but should contain no more than ten words per slide.
 * Each slide should have some kind of picture.


 * Google Presentation **

To create a Google Presentation, follow these steps:

1. To make the presentation, go to **docs.google.com** and

//2. click// on the button that says "**Create new**" in the //top left// hand corner. //3. Select// **presentation**.

4. Create the first slide by clicking on the "+" sign on the left hand slide where it says "1 of 1."

5. You may have all the slides with ONE THEME on it by clicking on |FORMAT ===> Presentation Settings ===> Change Theme. Keep all 6 slides on that same theme. You may change the layout (e.g. 2 columns, etc), but keep the theme same.

Have fun! Be sure to SAVE as you go along. ..

** Problem INSERTING PICTURES? Here is what you may need to do: **

A. Take EACH pic that you really want to include in your google presentation and place the pic in a power point file. It will reduce the size of the pic file since apparently your pic is too high in megapixels for the google format. If you want two pictures to show up on ONE google presentation slide, then you may be able to put them on one slide and transfer it that way.

B. Save this single powerpoint "slide." Then copy and paste the powerpoint slide in your google presentation slide. HOPE THAT WORKS!

C. If it says file cannot be transferred, then see your teacher. You may have to resort to another method. If you know of any other method that works, please let me know. I now realize that today's cameras are getting better and better in picture taking (but requiring more space/megapixels to achieve that clarity). We'll need to remember that picture settings will need to be changed to a lower resolution if we want to use personal pictures for FUTURE google presentations. :-)

DONE? Click on the "Share" button and find " sharing settings ." In the box entitled " add people ," insert this email address: theresafalk@gmail.com. Now I can access your presentation from my account!

 The page on the side entitled "[|HOW TO SHARE/LINK your GOOGLE PRESENTATION]" will help guide you if you've never done this before.
