| 775873 | 2009-05-22 04:28:00 | Myself and another lady are teaching computer lessons to some mentally challenged people and am looking for ideas on what to create with MS PowerPoint, other than a slideshow of pretty pictures which we have already done. Being a rather creatively challenged person myself, all I can think of is taking my camera to the class and using pics of them in a "This is my life" kind of slideshow. Does anyone have any better ideas or suggestions on what to do? You lot have far better imaginations than I have. :blush: Note that it must be reasonably easy to do, nothing complicated. |

| 775875 | 2009-05-22 05:44:00 | Rather than focussing on "this is my life", try "what can I do / have done", perhaps? In other words, try injecting some positivity into the powerpoint slides. I will let the others to do the examples :) |

| 775877 | 2009-05-22 06:19:00 | Done something similar, But we took the group on an outing, took photos, and then put together sideshow for each person . We took them on a farm to do some docking, Interesting experience for all of us . That is what I would like to do but I only teach the computer . Other people/services take them on outings . They get out and about and do way more than I do! :stare: They do have photos taken during these outings but I'm not sure how I would get hold of them to put in the presentation, hence the reason for taking my own camera to the lesson . Planning a holiday or finding pics on the internet of where they have been and events they have attended sounds a good idea . Would much prefer to have pics of them though, as they get really chuffed when it is on a personal level . They got a real kick out of making certificates for each other . Hmm . . . just had an idea - I could maybe contact the co-ordinator who arranged the PC lessons and see if she has any pics . Keep the suggestions coming . :thumbs: :cool: |

| 775878 | 2009-05-22 06:52:00 | You could get them to use Powerpoint to make a presentation about computers, or their lessons, get them to make a show about what they're learning about - get two things done at once. | mark c (247) | ||
| 775879 | 2009-05-22 07:25:00 | Ask them to come up with some suggestions on what they'd like it to be about. | pctek (84) | ||
| 775880 | 2009-05-22 07:46:00 | Choose pictures of flowers trees forests skies sea waves mountains, whatever, copy and paste text from poetry/stories/write their own to accentuate the effects of the pictures. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 775881 | 2009-05-22 07:49:00 | Foxy, my daughter had to do something similar for school. She did it in a way that incorporated old Microsoft Bob pointing and showing everything step by step in a vary simple way, which also included sounds, audio and screen shots. She got an excellence for it, the teacher was very impressed. | Bantu (52) | ||
| 775882 | 2009-05-22 09:40:00 | Perhaps convert your slide show to video, which can be done online, and also add audio (e.g. vocals of yourself/class); But might mean a bit of work. Then burn to a DVD to play. Tutorial here... (www.labnol.org) | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
