Just a few pointers for the hand in of your coursework on Monday 4th December 2006. Remember, this piece is worth approximately 17% of your final exam mark and the deadline is a hard one.
Remember the presentation format is up to you, but your work should be ‘Pretty and enlightened, not pretty and dim.’
Please remember to print/email/store your work before the lesson. Make sure your work has your name clearly on it, this includes any electronic versions or storage devices.
If you haven’t got PowerPoint, I suggest using OpenOffice, its free, and compatible with Microsoft PowerPoint, if saved in the right format. To do this, when saving, change the file format in the dialogue box to Microsoft PowerPoint. I have only briefly had a play with this, after I suggested that a year 8 group use it for a Boscastle presentation, it seems to work great! And yes it’s free!
For those of you producing PowerPoints, please remember to include any associated movie files or music in the same folder as your presentation.
If you need assistance or help, please email me before 7.00 p.m. on 3rd December 2006. After this I watch Heartbeat and nothing will disturb me.

Great to see people recommending OpenOffice.org! Another nice thing about OpenOffice Impress is that not only can you just save it as Powerpoint to run it, if necessary, but you can save it to these formats:
HTML
Flash
PDF
For the first two, choose File > Export, go through the wizard, and run them.
For PDF, choose File > Export as PDF, and name the file. Then you can run it in any Adobe reader just by going to the next page.

Thanks very much Solveig for the tips, I’m looking forward to exploring open office further, and it’s great for our students who can’t afford/don’t have access to Microsoft products.
