  3. A new school year approaches… • New students • New activities • More fun than ever

  4. More fun you say? • Taking pictures is the natural way of capturing the memories. • Your students grow up so fast!

  5. How do you share your memories? • Build a digital memory album! • It’s easy!

  6. Preparation… • Select photographs to use • Digital- 640x480, 72 pixels serves the purpose • Paper – Needs to be scanned at low resolution. • Do not use computer printed photos to scan. Images will not be clear • JPEG format for pictures is best • You’ve Got Pictures!

  7. Equipment.. • Computer with Microsoft PowerPoint • Office 2000 • Download photo album plug-in from the MS Download center at www.microsoft.com/downloads. • Search for album.EXE • Office XP & 2003 already have this plug-in installed

  8. Photos • Create file folder to store ALL photos in until ready to create photo album

  9. Have everything? Let’s Create!

  10. Step One… • You need to open the photo album format as a new presentation • File>New>General> PhotoAlbum • Click File/Disk and find the file folder with your pictures

  11. To Choose… • Click on the first picture then scroll down to the bottom of the list. • Holding down the Shift key, click the last file. • All picture files should be highlighted • Click “Insert” then click “Create” and the pictures will automatically move into the presentation.

  12. Work the project like any other PowerPoint. If pictures don’t cover the page, add a background. Crop or edit pictures on the slide. Add slide transition Animation Organize slides in the Slide Sorter View Now for the fun…

  13. So you want to share.. • Email presentation (large file size = long upload time • Some Internet providers frown on large file emails • Pack and Go (2000) • Package for CD (XP & 2003) • Post on a webpage (for personal use only)

  14. Sounds… • Choose from Microsoft’s collection or create your own. • Only WAV formats are accepted by PowerPoint if you choose your own background music.

  15. To Add a Sound • Set the Slide Transition and timing • On Slide One under Slide Transition choose your sound under Modify • Match your transitions with sound for clear ending

  16. How about a CD? • Nice memory sharing. • What a great way to say thanks for a great year! • “Burn” as many CD’s as you want • Create a label for that personal touch

  17. CD Checklist • PowerPoint file • Any WAV files included in your project • PowerPoint viewer, free from Microsoft (for those that don’t have PowerPoint on their computer)

  18. Any other programs?? • Flip Album is my favorite • www.flipalbum.com • Pictures and music, the choice is yours • Version 6.0 allows for DVD playback on newer DVD players • Watch your show on your television
