How about doing one on how to use Yahoo answers?  The outline is already laid out for you.  Just copy the categories and start from there.

get a program called SnagIt!  great tool to use.  It'll do video capture and save it to a .jpeg or numerous other formats so you can plug it into your PP presentation.

Speaking from personal experience as someone who regularly both gives powerpoint presentations and is on the recieving end of a lot as well my main tips can be summarised like this;\nAvoid "Death by Powerpoint" where every single thing you are oing to say has a slide\nKeep to bullet points\nUse custom animation sparingly- while it is ok to have something spin to emphasise it, don't over do it\nMake sure your points don't show up until you are ready for them- otherwise people will just read the slide and be away ahead of you.\nUse powerpoint as an aid, not the focus of your presentation- basically plan with the idea in mind that if technological problems raise their head, you should still be able to do your presentation without it\nPrint out copies of slideshow for the audience, but think about when to give them out- they may want them to write notes beside when you ae talking, but they can also be a distraction with people reading on ahead again and not listen to what you say\nKeep the slides easy to read and with as little information as possible on them-again to emphasise Powerpoint is an aid to the presentation, not the presentation itself.\nGood luck

You must purchase Microsoft Office, either the student version or the standard version to obtain Powerpoint so that you can make your own powerpoint presentations.\n\ngreetz brimu

Try Easy Screen Capture Video (ESCV)  - it's free to try - and extremely easy to use.  Setup the Power Point Presentation as a show - ESCV will capture the screen image and convert it to an avi file format.  Pretty cool stuff ... good luck!  Here's the link: http://www.easyscreencapturevideo.com/

I can make a fun interactive penguin computer program for you (i need to make an activity for my class by Monday, myself)  I'll need to know if your students can use the mouse or access the computer in an alternative method.  Also, what are their ages and abilities and should it be more instructional, more fun, or equally both?  Also, what platform does your computer use? windows xp, OSX, etc.\nIt will be a powerpoint file, but you don't need powerpoint to be able to play it. let me know!

Here is a cute idea I am not sure if you're interested:\n\nPart of your presentation start with "le tour de France" Which introduces the history, foods, about the people etc\n\nAnd then make up a little brochure type deal discussing the geography food could also go here, sites and other maybe interesting history also maybe throw in a few interesting words you like or sentences\n\nfinish up with the language and population etc

good luck, power point presentations are about the most broing thing ever.  try to make your speech more exciting so you're not just reading slides.  nothing is more boring then that and people feel like you wasted their time.

To give an effective presentation is to make sure you leave an impact with the audience. You can have all the information in your hand but if you dont present it correctly its going to end up dull and boring, right?\n\nthat was me before.. reading off pieces of paper and shaking.. then one I decided to think 'oh f*ck it im going to go out there and make a killer presentation' because really, nobody really cares what kind of speech you made 10 years later. \n\nThis is what you should do:\n- Use powerpoint if you can. When making the slides, do not put more than 3-4 dot points. Each dot point is a very short line or sentence. During your presentation you will expand on each point. Keep animations to a minimum as they are annoying. the focus is on you, not the powerpoint. \n\n- Practise Practise Practise. This helped me a lot in my preparation. Me and a friend both had presentations on the same day. So on the day before it was due, we booked a lecture room and presented each others speeches until we both memorized them without using hand notes. We probably spent 3 hours in that room criticizing each others speeches until they were perfect without mumbling or forgetting things. This was for a 7 minute presentation. \n\n- Project your voice. You will get used to it with practise\n\n- Dress appropriately. if you are a serious presenter, dress serious. If its a more casual approach, dress as such. \n\n- Audience participation - this is a tough one. people say do it, people say don't. Have the participation question ready. If people seem active then use it. If you feel the audience doesnt want to participate, then don't do it. It really depends if is a requirement or not. The best time to do this is at the beginning of a presentation where the audience is most active and engaged in your speech. you want to let them think about what you are going to talk about about - this will help them listen more into your speech. I would recommend just yes/no type questions where people put their hands up. its a little more difficult to solicit verbal responses but if you can do it, even better

pick something you know how to do (softballl, possibly?), then pick a specific aspect of that to present\nsome ideas:\nhow to make something (sewing, carpentry, art, etc.)\nhow to throw a ball\nscrapbooking\nbaking a cake\nwriting the letter "A"\nbecoming the dictator of a country\nwriting a speech\n\nwithout knowing anything specific, i can't give many suggestions, but i hope you can at least get some ideas from this

I can try to answer this when I get to work, but the only method I can think of is to get a software that will  convert Microsoft PowerPoint presentations for Internet or e-mail delivery.\n\nTry impatica:\nhttp://www.impatica.com/support/guides/imp4ppt-mac.html\n\nIll get more info when I get to work.
