Lunch and Learn GOAL: To practice skills to immerse students in creating their own Power Point projects to learn content along with the technology required.

|
Objective 1 |
Create flash cards for GED/ABE/ESL and Foreign Language students. |
Examples of Flash Card Uses |
Match pictures with vocabulary – from basic to technical or professional vocabulary Conjugate verbs Match words with definitions Match art with artists Match dates with events Conjugate verbs Solve math problems
NOTE: In this session, we will practice formatting cards to print so that students can cut and carry with them. However, many instructors simply have students use the flashcards in PP. There are many individual and collaborative variations. Have students use those they prefer as a learning tool.

· .pptx – Saves in new XML-based default file format used by PowerPoint 2007 for presentations, which uses compression technology to make file sizes smaller, structures files modularly so different components are kept separate for better recovery, and integrates easily with other programs that support XML standards. · .ppt – Saves as a presentation compatible with 97-2003. · ,pdf – Saves as a PDF file. · .ppsx – Saves as a 2007 PP show, which opens in full screen, regardless of whether the viewer has PP on the machine. · .pps - Saves as a 97 -2003 show, which opens in full screen, regardless of whether the viewer has PP on the machine.
