How to create and add a new slide

Step 1:

Open Microsoft PowerPoint.

Step 2:

Go to File at the top of the screen and click “New Presentation”. It should appear on the right side of your screen.

Step 3:

In the “New Presentation” dialog box, click on “From Design Template.” You may then scan through design templates and choose one that you like.

Step 4: Slide Design :

Select a design template by clicking on the template you like. You may choose a different color for your template by clicking on “Color Schemes” in the “New Presentation” dialog box

Step 5: Slide Layout:

In changing the Slide Layout you may change the slide layout (based on how information is presented in the slide) by going to the top of the screen and clicking on “Format” – “Slide Layout.” A box will appear on the right side of your screen (where “New Presentation” appeared) labeled “Slide Layout.” You may select a design by clicking on it.

Step 6: Adding Text:

 Enter your text by clicking and then typing in the box titled “Click to Add Text” or “Click to Add Title.”

 Step 7: Adding Pictures:

 You may add pictures by clicking on the box that says “Click to add content.” Inside that box, there will be a smaller box with six icons. Click on the icon that looks like a photograph of a mountain. A new window will open, allowing you to browse for a picture on your computer or a CD. Once you find your picture, click on it and then click “Insert.”

Step8 : Resizing Pictures:

 You may change the size of your picture by clicking on the picture. The picture will then have black lines around it with small bubbles or boxes in the corners. Place your mouse over the bubbles or boxes and click. Holding the mouse pointer down, drag the picture to the size you want.

Step 9: Adding  audio and videos:

Select Audio on your device. In the file explorer, locate the music file you want to use and then select Insert. The audio icon will be added to the slide for play back. From the Insert tab, click the Video drop-down arrow and select Video from File.

        Inserting a video from a file. Locate and select the desired video file, then click insert from video dialogue box. The video will be added to the slide.

Step 10: Applying transitions and effects 

To add a transition, go to toolbar and select transitions. Select the desired slide from the Slide Navigation panel and select the transition of your choice to apply the transition. Click the “More” drop-down arrow to display all transitions. To add an effect, go to animations tab on the toolbar. Select the object you want to animate and click an effect button of your choice to apply it. Click the More drop-down arrow to display all effects and animations.

Step 11: Tada!!!

You’re Done! Wasn’t that easy? Now you can do it again to make more.

I would say that this class was very interesting and exciting for me because I was always interesting in learning how to create a Power point presentation. It was a true learning experience for me.

The use of Power point will be very efficient in the classroom. It can be used to demonstrate lessons and will assist students who mostly learns both visually and by hearing. 

“MAY GOD BLESS”
