Background For Teachers:
Students should submit a slide show outline before beginning computer input. A required outline will help students focus on the assignment's purpose. A completed outline reduces the time needed for content input and organization, insures higher quality work, and reduces time-wasting detours. Students should first gather, critique, and format information before working on transitions and other enhancements. Remind students that show enhancements should support the message and content not distract from it.
