Online Resources
These resources may be useful for your work in this class or your other computer projects.- Microsoft Office Online
- Microsoft offers tons of clip art, photos, animations, and sounds free for your use.
- stock.xchng
- Get it? "Stock exchange"? So clever and witty, these folks. This is my favorite site for free stock photos. You need to read the license for any photo you want to use, though. Some of them have restrictions.
Online Lessons
You will be assigned these lessons in class. If you are just dying to take a peek at them now, knock yourself out.

- In this lesson you will decide when and how PowerPoint is and is not appropriate. You will be looking at Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
