Workshop: 2306
TITLE:
Posters and Memes--Oh My!
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
From posters to newsletters to social media memes, teachers often need ways to create such items for their classrooms. In addition, students often learn more if they are engaged in project-based learning. This course will take a look at a tool that has been around a long time but is often overlooked for fancier new tools. However, its power has grown.
Microsoft’s Powerpoint can be used to create posters, memes, graphics and even newsletters. Most people have access to PowerPoint, but don't know its full potential to create pdfs, jpgs, pngs, even edit photos, all for free: no other programs to buy. We will take a look at creating specialty fonts, cutting out portions of photos, and knocking out backgrounds as we discuss how students can make their own newsletters or posters to demonstrate their learning or create posters for the school play. The possibilities are endless. As a final note, most businesses use Microsoft products, so giving students experience with Office 365 will build their career skills.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Bring your own laptop with PowerPoint on it (Microsoft Office). Google Docs, Chromebooks or Microsoft Online will not work for this course. Personal Google account needed to upload assignments.
