Ultimate Power Point/Moviemaker Lesson

1. Ultimate Power Point/Moviemaker Lesson Mrs. Blair World History

2. Essential Question • What kind of things do I not know how to do with Hemet High’s Project making apps? How can I make my presentation look professional?

3. A few general rules • Do NOT hog the network by browsing sites unrelated to your project. • Do not go onto music sites see me about music • Do not play games EVER! • Do not circumvent the firewall…EVER! • Failure to follow these rules can result in the removal of your network access…PERMANENTLY! • Expect the network to be slow, but do not waste class time waiting for difficult sites to open…look elsewhere!

4. Working on the HHS network • Apps Applications provided for your use by the district For this project we will use Power Point or Movie Maker Today you will look at both…NO browsing during the lesson! You will get to start, don’t be in a teenage hurry! • Folders • Everything must be saved to the network…NOT the laptop on which you are working. • SLOW DOWN and save deliberately and with a sense of organization! Let’s get started! Open your laptop and sign in!

5. Finding and Saving pictures Save your first picture…let’s try Open a search engine Type in our topic (do not try search “images” they are blocked by HUSD Find your image (do not copy) Right click and choose “save image as” When the dialog box opens… find your network folder to save in Open a “new folder” title it World History with your names 7. Make sure THIS folder is the one in which you save every item! Rename your pics so you can find them easily (Sacajawea 1) (Map of US) etc DO NOT Save YET! DO NOT Save YET! DO NOT Save YET! Save ONLY if you have done ALL of the above

6. About references • Every image must have a reference listed in your credits • Here’s how to save your list: LET’S DO THIS TOGETHER • Copy the URL of your first Image • Open a blank Word Document • Paste the URL onto the blank document AND briefly reference to which image it belongs (Sacajawea 1) (US Map) etc. 4) Save the word document as “Works Cited” in your World History (your names) folder 5) Add to the “Works Cited List every time you save an image 6) This will be the 2nd to the last slide on your presentation.

7. Power Point and Movie Expectations • Begin with your project’s name and the names of you and your partner (see slide 1) • The Second slide should contain the Essential Question for your topic. See phschool.com webcodemza 2151 for questions you might use. • Each subsequent slide should endeavor to answer the “Essential Question” by providing supporting details. Begin with the broad idea and break into smaller examples.

8. Now you have the basics… • Are you saving every picture to your project folder? • Are you saving every URL with a short description to your “Works Cited” document? • Then begin your research! • After collecting a BUNCH of info, choose your media!

9. Choosing your program: Power Point Movie Maker • I’m good at this, but want to be AMAZING! • I feel safer with PP and promise to venture into new ways to perk up my presentation. • See slides 9-14 and the end 20-22 • I’m great at PP and need to expand my resume with the ability to make movies • I already know how to use both, but would like to really WOW myself with a great presentation. • See slides 15-22

10. How to use your folder of saved items • Click on the icon for “insert picture”. If you have saved things properly you should find your saved pics in your world history (your names) folder. Find the picture you want to insert, click insert. Work on each caption before moving on to the next slide. Use “text box” for small photo captions..this feature moves and “sizes” easily You can email images to yourself, then save them in your Project folder Mr. Blair and Rip JP Blair

11. Begin building your Power point • Collect at least 10 pictures, maps, paintings or other visuals (be sure to save the reference) • You may use 1 personal (appropriate) pic! • Phschool.com will have many pictures/maps you can embed available. Look in your text for webcodes like: mza-4174 • Build a basic powerpoint (no designs, transitions or sounds yet). • Make sure you address the standard/essential question • Try some of the other features within the program before you move on.

12. Pictures and Captions Word Art is cool!

13. Cleaning it up! • Go back and check your spelling and captions • Are the captions focused? Do they give supporting details that address the essential question? This should NOT be complicated! Ex: Sacajawea aided the men by showing them edible plants and roots”

14. Have fun with it! • Try adding animated clip art! Preview before inserting…it won’t play while in edit mode. • Try adding sounds! These load slowly…and you will be prompted as to when you want it to start “automatically” or “when clicked” • Use transitions! This flips, slides, fades in or out etc…between each slide

15. Get fancy with it! • Now try the design feature…choose colors, designs and change them if you do not like them! • Your most daunting task will be to narrate OR set your PP to music. • If you are narrating…go to: Insert/sound/record narration. Write out your script or you will spend hours cracking up! See “rehearse timings” under Slide Show tab. • If you are using music you will need to record the timing…this tool will open when you hit Insert/sound/from file (or CD)

16. Movie Maker Basics • Open windows Movie Maker • You can “transfer” all of your pictures and media into the project at one time just highlight them all, then click insert (or add media) • They are in the top box right? Drag them down to the storyboard in the order you like • Rearrange as you work through the project (just highlight and drag them) • You can insert titles between pictures (before or after a highlighted picture is the option here)

17. Windows Movie Maker • You can write a caption Over pictures (check for fading it in or out…different animations) • Credits at the end and the title at the beginning are also found under the “add title” option. • Save EVERYTHING into your network folder…even music! This media will NOT “grab” it from another source. Red boxes mean OOPS! You saved it wrong! • If inserting YOU TUBE videos use the “embed” feature, but also save the video’s URL to your project folder just in case • Play, play and replay your movie (on the right side of the screen in the small media box) to check music timing, slide timing and text box placement

18. Things to try • Timeline and storyboard modes are the best to work in. • Sound files (insert a song…watch it show up at the bottom of the “timeline”. This can be moved or clipped. Yes, you may use more than one and/or parts of different tunes. • Generic sounds are available…but music files must be approved and provided by me • Move your clips around to match the words to the song.

19. More on MM • Make sure you are meeting the requirements! See slide 5 of this PP. • Again, play and replay…do not save all the time! Save it as a project. Do not MAKE the movie until you are done. • You can save the project…but MAKE CERTAIN the project is saved to YOUR folder on YOUR network or all will be lost 

20. …one IMPORTANT thought • If you and your partner are prone to absences remember this: 5% off YOUR project grade for each day you miss during this 2 week activity If everything is saved in only ONE person’s file, the other person is stuck for the day… Exchange phone numbers or consider duplicating your work to both person’s networks

21. When completely finished • Open the Network for MY file and send your project to me in my world History Dropbox • Send me only your completed project, not your entire folder • Please Put your names and Period as the name of the file you send.

22. Works Cited: • Phschool.com (references for student use) • Microsoft Office 2007 (clipart, sounds, transitions) • The Beatles “Hard Days Night: Apple Records 1964 • Personal Photos (by K Blair) • Pinterest (coffee art, teacher poster, meme) THE END !!!
