2. Begin by entering text on pages. One sentence per page. Keep it simple. Double Check Spelling.

3. Add simple images. Use one of the sites below to find your pictures. These are all copyright free (which means you don't have to pay to use the photos, but you ALWAYS need to list (or cite) your sources.To get an image from a site into your PowerPoint, do a control-click and then select 'Copy Image.' Then, paste image into your PowerPoint slide. Or, drag your image onto the desktop from the site and then drag it into your PowerPoint.

Name and save your PowerPoint appropriately. Always use lowercase letters, no spaces and short. Include your initials so you don't name the file that same as someone else. Place it in your documents folder.
