PowerPoint

Today we discussed PowerPoint. We talked about saving it as ppt, pps, htm, mht, and pdf. I found an awesome PowerPoint on colors probably appropriate for kindergarten level. It is saved as a ppt, I saved this PowerPoint under different formats. The htm format was the worst . The pdf format was nice, but the transitions were lost. We then uploaded the powerpoint to the FTP site. Here are the powerpoints saved as FTPs: PDF HTM PPT PPSX
