PowerPoint

Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation program sold as part of the Microsoft Office suite.

PowerPoint presentations contain a number of individual pages or ‘slides’. Slides may contain text, graphics, sound, or movies. PowerPoint encourages the use of a consistent style in a presentation by the use of style templates.

The presentation can be displayed live on a computer, with navigation from slide to slide by the presenter, or projected using a video projector and played as slideshow. PowerPoint presentations can also be printed.

Great tutorials can be found when you log into PLATO/Brightspace and click on Plato Help & Resources in the blue nav bar, then click on InfoBase Learning Cloud. Type PowerPoint in the search bar.
