In the first PowerPoint tutorial you learned how to create and save a new presentation (the Screenbeans slide show). You saw a sample slide show (The Tudor Monarchs). You learned how to prepare an outline, typed text for each slide, added clip art, and set timings. You added an effect to enhance the slide transition, selected a color scheme, and may have even created a new background effect. You chose preset text animation, hid slides, and used Action Buttons. Finally, you changed the printer settings so that you can print out handouts rather than just individual slides of your shows. For many classrooms and for most K-6 students, what you learned in chapter 8 is just fine. But, if you're ready to take the next step and learn some advanced tricks with PowerPoint, or if you teach computer-savvy students who want more challenging skills to master, this chapter's for you. Most PowerPoint presentations you see in school or at work are what are called linear presentations. That is, each slide is designed to move one right after another. The first slide transitions to the second, which transitions to the third, and so forth. For many educational tasks, this is enough.
