<br />
Here are some videos to use. Do NOT search for videos. Use only these. You may watch them and then embed them into your Powerpoint.<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4zKD1I_pv8">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4zKD1I_pv8</a> (Studio C - Oregon Trail)<br />

<br />
Here is a basic tutorial on how to embed YouTube clips into Powerpoint.<br />
<br />
In Powerpoint, click the Office button and go to Powerpoint Options (bottom of menu).<br />
<br />
Click the box that says Show the Developer Tab in the Ribbon.<br />
<br />
Click the Developer Tab, and then click the Tool (wrench/hammer) button.<br />
<br />
Click Shockwave Flash Object, then OK.<br />
<br />
Make a large box on your slide. The box will look like it has a large X in it. (Make sure your slide is blank.)<br />
<br />
Right click the center of the box and choose Properties.<br />
<br />
In the blank box next to Movie, paste the YouTube URL.<br />
<br />
In the URL, erase <span style="background-color: yellow;">watch?</span> Also, erase the<span style="background-color: yellow;"> =</span> and make a<span style="background-color: yellow;"> <b>/</b> </span>instead.<br />
<br />
In the boxes next to <span style="background-color: yellow;">Loop and Playing</span>, change them to <span style="background-color: yellow;">False</span> instead of True.<br />
<br />
Close the box and then play the slide. You will see a box pop up that says "I recognize this content. Allow it to play." Click that option.<br />
<br />
Your video should play now.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2783894837893144430.post-40510768412847709022013-02-22T12:12:00.001-08:002013-02-22T12:28:43.538-08:00Spell Check PracticeCopy and paste this passage into a Word Document.

There are two sides. Be sure to design both sides. Add your "business information" in the Custom menu. This will put all your business information automatically into your brochure once you click "create".<br />
<br />
Brochures should include this information:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Your business name (be sure it's in the title on your front page, too).</li>
<li>Your motto or tagline. Create a catchy line that describes how great your business is.</li>
<li>Use at least 5 clip art pictures. If you can't find clip art to match your business you can ask permission to find images on the internet.</li>
<li>You do not have to write a lot of information, but I want to see <b>3 paragraphs</b> with at least <b>3 sentences</b> in each one describing what your business does and how great it is. </li>
<li>Include Word Art.</li>
<li>Create a price list of the things you sell. </li>
<li>Make sure things are capitalized and spelled correctly.</li>
<li>Write two testimonials. Create pretend customers who describe how great your business is. Use their first name and the city they are from. Example below.</li>
