I am in my 7th year of teaching. The first 3 were spent teaching a writing workshop course along with honor's English. For the last three years, I have been teaching computer applications. This Apps course, as I call it, is primarily used to teach the Microsoft Office applications Word, Excel, Publisher, PowerPoint and MovieMaker. Prior to teaching, I spent 6 years in the advertising industry both on the creative and account sides.

This 2010 PowerPoint Lesson Plan is a PowerPoint tutorial to help students learn to adjust a presentation's theme, PowerPoint background, insert sound into PowerPoint and work with transitions. The speaker notes can be used by the teacher to teach the lesson with the students, or used directly by the students to learn these PowerPoint tips at their own speed. See my other PowerPoint Lesson Plans for prerequisites or for more advanced skills.

Teaching style
My philosophy is that if you make the work interesting, the students will want to do it. Therefore, I strive to make all my projects applicable to the students' lives and be based around subjects they might not normally get to study in school. Subjects like sports, pop culture, music and teen/tween life tend to get the best results.
