Evaluate
tools that create and enhance presentations.
Microsoft PowerPoint is the most popular presentation software used by
educators. What was once the tool of trainers and presenters can now be
found in almost every classroom. What is your PowerPoint I.Q.? For rookies,
PowerPoint in the Classroom is a good site. (http://www.actden.com/pp/)

you have limited access to an Internet connection or a computer, you print a
print-version of the PowerPoint in the Classroom tutorial at

reprint purposes to nonprofit educational organizations under the following
conditions:
-

be in printed paper format (not for Web or software use).

provide more templates and more options to enhance PowerPoint presentations.
If You’ve Had Some Practice…Microsoft
hosts a PowerPoint web site at
http://www.microsoft.com/office/powerpoint/ You will notice that this
site provides information for the current and previous versions of
PowerPoint. Using PowerPoint at
http://www.microsoft.com/office/powerpoint/using/default.asp is filled
with great ideas, hints, tips, and links to a variety of resources. Even
the most experienced PowerPoint user will appreciate this site.
Advice for Using PowerPoint in the HSTE Classroom
-
Use pictures, clipart, graphs, etc.
-
Don’t put too much information on a single slide.
-
It takes longer than you think to create a PowerPoint
presentation.
-
Have a Plan B. Sometimes, things do not go as planned,
and finding yourself with no lesson at all could prove to be a problem.
Print a hard copy of your presentation to serve as a master.
-
What works on one computer may NOT work on other
computers.
-
LCD projectors can create challenges if the user is not
familiar with the projector. Presentations should be practiced at least
three (3) times.
Using PowerPoint in HOSA
Year in Review – Students can use PowerPoint to assemble a group of photos
using animation and adding music. Result: a slide show about the chapter.
-
Use close-up shots. PowerPoint photos may be cropped to
remove the fringe area and enlarge the subject.
-
When showing a PowerPoint to a large group, use a CD
player and synchronize the start.
-
Run the slides at 3 second intervals if there are photos
(no text.)
-
In using music with lyrics, don’t put text on the
slides. If you want text on the slides, use instrumental music.

POWERPOINTS
(HSTE OR HOSA)
PURPOSE:
To provide
an interesting way to present assignments, notes and/or information
to your class from a computer to a special TV monitor in your
classroom.
SUGGESTIONS:
Notes for a
particular lesson plan or unit of study.
Pictures of
a disease process and explanations of what is happening.
Pictures of
a skill, showing a demonstration of a skill with steps to follow,
explaining the skill. (Works well when you are limited on the
books.).
Showing
pictures of an event or HOSA activity.
A good way
of showing a “community awareness project”.
PROCEDURES:
1. Decide
what you want to do and plan.
2. Go to
your start button on you computer, then programs and click on
Microsoft power point.
3. Decide
which presentation module that you want to use and click the icon.
4. If you

temple you will want. You will be able to choose the colors for
your presentation.
5. You will
need to decide which slide presentation you would like to use.
6. If you
want to add anything then you go to the “INSERT” icon at the top of
your computer. It will ask you if you want clip art or your own
picture. This is where you can add tunes, and or animation.
7. Be sure
and save after each slide.
8. You can
have as many slides as you want, but remember that if it is lengthy
then students will become board.
This is a good
way to present new information to the students. This will be a
great review and assessment tool, to understand what the students have
learned and what they need to review before a quiz.

Carmen created a wonderful “Year in Review” PowerPoint, and
downloaded the perfect song into the PowerPoint program.
When the moment arrived to share the presentation with the 200
people in the school auditorium, it turned out that the sound on
Carmen’s laptop sounded like a whisper in such a large room.
The PowerPoint was very well done, but the music could not be
heard! |

publishing program. It is used to create newsletters, brochures, business
cards, letterhead, flyers, and more. It is a software program that must

What can Microsoft

Publisher includes
customizable templates, design guidance, and a complete collection of
desktop publishing tools. In addition, the AutoConvert feature enables
users to convert any publication for use on the Web. Publisher offers full
support for commercial printing, including four-color separation and spot
color printing.
How can Microsoft
Publisher be used in the classroom and in HOSA?
Publisher can be used
to create materials to market and promote the HSTE program.
Publisher would be a
valuable tool for HOSA. Chapter members could use the software to create
a chapter newsletter, chapter letterhead, business cards for officers,
promotional brochures, etc.

BROCHURES
PURPOSE:
To provide
information regarding a particular subject to help others.
SUGGESTIONS:
To design a
brochure on baby care, a disease project, and/or surgical procedure.
To inform
students what HSTE is all about.
To inform
students what HOSA is all about, the benefits, the activities, and
the fun.

woman how to breast feed.
This
brochure works well for community service.
PROCEDURES:
1. Decide
what you want your brochure to be. Are students working together on
a particular project.
2. Research
your brochure, pick out pictures, and be sure to provide an email
address for other information.
3. Click on
the start button at the bottom of your computer.
4. Go to
Microsoft publisher., click on brochure.

which design that you would like to use, click on that design that
interests you. (You can change the color if you would like to).
6. Title
your brochure and place information regarding your brochure, just
begin typing, you can insert pictures and/or clip art from the above
icon. You can change the colors and design it to benefit your
subject. If you want to add pictures that you have taken you can
use a scanner and transfer them to your brochure, just remember to
size them appropriately.
7. Be sure
and get signed consent from a person that allowed you to take a
picture of them to use in your brochure. They legally have the
right to refuse.
8. Be
carefully to type within the lines, the way that you will be folding
you brochure, this can prevent a problem for you later if your not
careful.
9. Print
one side, then replace the printed copy back in the printer the
right direction and print the back side. (Do not be discouraged,
you might mess up a few at first).
Remember!
The Brochures are very helpful to a lot of people, and the students
enjoy making them. I have found that it can be expensive when you
start making color copies for lots of people. Sometimes different
businesses will help with the cost as long as they get some free
advertisements.
