Cold War #8

I'm heading into the final stretch of the course. I spent several hours yesterday working on my power point. As expected I have more material than I need. I also found that I have 'stuff'' everywhere. I worked on power point #1 for about an hour before I remembered I had an outline that I had written and should probably follow. The outline was helpful and I was finally able to focus. I also worked on creating a hyper link in my power points and was marginally successful. My links need to take the viewer to the exact video I want seen and some are just taking viewers to the website and the viewer has to click on the correct video. I also have several primary source text documents that would be ridiculous to read in the power point but I am working on retyping the most important text from the document on the slide while including a picture of the actual document. I know that power points are not for reading. They need to be visually appealing. I also may play with the idea of including a photostory in a power point but have yet to work out that technology. In addition I know that the topic "Cold War" is a high school standard with indicators in Kansas so my audience for my power point needs to be at the high school level. I will continue to work on the technology piece but for now I have 4 slides completed for power point #1 and 2 completed for power point #2. Two weeks to get it done.
