Recently, we were given instructions on how to use Excel for transferring data from an existing database to Excel spreadsheets. The Power point presentation used by the presenter had sound effects and graphics that included arrows, drum rolls and applause. I found it very helpful, especially when dealing with tiny boxes, letters and numbers. People were engaged in learning some new applications and the added humor broke the monotony nicely.
One of the most important things to know is that Power point is only a tool, which should be used as such to deliver the message intended by the person creating it.

Very recently (tonight as a matter of fact) I had a serious change of heart as I was working on the powerpoint quiz for this class. Just as I was giving such kudos to powerpoint, it let me down. The hyperlinks were the problem. Hugh was very helpful on both Monday afternoon and today. He spent hours with the issue, which is partially solved. Interestingly, another student came into the lab with the same problem. I hope this illustrates the nature of technology. You just have to be really patient sometimes...
