Serif vs. Sans Serif Serif fonts are the font styles like Times New Roman or Georgia that have serifs or "tails" at the ends
of the lines. These tails help the letters fit together into words. Serif fonts tend to have a personal, humanistic
character. Use serif fonts to "involve" readers with the body of your text. Fonts such as Arial and Verdana that have no
tails are called Sans Serif. "Sans" is French for "without." Sans Serif fonts tend to have a technical, impersonal character.
Use sans-serif tolend authority to your text. Use Serif fonts for large amounts of text (such as body copy) and San Serif
fonts for headlines and labels. If you mix typefaces, choose two that visually contrast. An excellent combo is Arial Bold for
headlines and Times New Roman bold for body text. Color Make your font

Powerful powerpoint for educators

Learn to use PowerPoint in ways you never thought possible. Marcovitz shows how, providing practical instruction for using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to create learning environments and educational materials that support and enhance student success. With the widespread availability of PowerPoint (every copy beginning with version 1997 comes with VBA built-in) schools have all the tools they need to create powerful and interactive multimedia resources. The true power of multimedia lies in its ability to engage students' minds. Professional multimedia tools are too difficult to learn, too expensive, or both, and although many teachers and students use HyperStudio or PowerPoint to develop multimedia projects, these projects often lack true interactivity. Using VBA with PowerPoint gives teachers and students an accessible way to easily create interactive multimedia resources and projects. After introducing the basics of educational planning, the design process, and the benefits of designing and using multimedia, this book offers the practical knowledge you need to create powerful educational resources.

Learn to create projects that include:
-Pictures, videos, recorded voices, and links to Web sites
-Interactive menus
-Quizzes and short-answer questions with automatic user-feedback
-The ability to score quizzes
-The ability to keep track of which presentation sections have or haven't been visited
-The ability to allow the user to type and alter slides during the presentation
-And much more The possibilities are endless. Anyone with basic PowerPoint skills can use this book to create powerful educational material for themselves, their colleagues, their students, or their own children.
