Affordability

The rate of change in the digital information age is clearly increasing, and computer literacy is becoming a prerequisite. The goal of the 29th edition of Computing Essentials is to provide students with an introductory understanding of the concepts necessary for success and to instill an appreciation for the effect of information technology on people, privacy, ethics, and our environment. Today's students put much effort toward the things that are relevant to them, yet it is sometimes difficult to engage them in other equally important topics like personal privacy and technological advances. The text is available with Connect, McGraw Hill’s course management and adaptive learning system, helping millions of students reach their potential every year. The new 29th edition adds a focus on practical advice for efficient smartphone use, and every chapter’s Making IT Work for You, Privacy, Ethics, Environment and Look to the Future features have been revised or replaced.

Here is a video demonstrating the skills in this practice. Please note it does not exactly match the instructions: 

Complete the following Practice Activity and submit your completed project.

computer essentials presentation

We will continue to work with the PowerPoint presentation from PowerPoint Practice 3. After submitting your presentation to the Director of Marketing, she has asked you to make a few enhancements that incorporate multimedia and statistical data. Key skills in this practice include screenshots, embedding videos, recording audio, background images, charting data with line and bar charts.

  • Start PowerPoint, notice how it opens in Backstage View. Under Open, browse to locate your PowerPoint_Practice_3, and select open.
  • Select File, Save As, Browse, and then navigate to your PowerPoint folder on your flash drive or other location where you save your files. Name the presentation as Yourlastname_Yourfirstname_PowerPoint_Practice_4.
  • There should be 8 slides in your slide deck. Ensure your presentation is in normal view and select slide 8.
  • Open a new browser window, and navigate to the PVCC Home Page . The URL is www.paradisevalley.edu .
  • With slide 8 still active, go to the Insert tab, Images group, Screen Shot and select screen clipping. Take a screen clip of the top portion of the PVCC home page, and insert it into side 8. The screen clip should be under the Puma Commitment logo, and above the text box that contains the text: It is great to be a Puma!
  • With the screen shot image still selected, resize it so that it has an approximate height of 1.75” and an approximate width of 7.5”. If necessary, move the Puma Commitment image up, and the text boxes down to create enough space for the screen shot image.
  • Select the screen clip image you just added, and on the Animations tab, in the Animations group, add the Fade animation to the screen shot image. On slide 8, in the notes pane, add the following note after the note that is already there: Then, explain all of the resources available on the PVCC Home Page.
  • Select slide 5. On the Home tab, in the Slide grouping, add a new slide with the Title and Content Layout. In the title placeholder type: PVCC Fine Arts.
  • In the content placeholder below the title, click the icon to insert an online video. To insert an online video, you can also use the Insert tab, Media group, video, online video. It may take a few moments for the Insert Video screen to load.
  • Use the Search YouTube box by typing in PVCCFineArts, and then selecting the search icon or pressing enter on your keyboard. Scroll through the videos to find the video titled Let it Be Summer 2020. If that video is not available, you can select a different one. Double click the video, or select Insert to add the video to slide 6.
  • With the video selected, on the Video Tools, Format tab, resize the video so that it has a height of approximately 5” and a width of approximately 9.4”. Move the video so that it is center on the slide if necessary.
  • On the Playback tab, select Play to watch the video.
  • Another way to add an online video to a PowerPoint slide is by embedding it. Using your web browser, navigate to www.youtube.com . In the search window, type, Let it be summer 2020. Locate the PVCC Fine Arts video Let it be summer 2020. Select the Share icon, and then select embed. Copy the embed code.
  • In PowerPoint, on slide 6, select the Insert tab, Media group, Video, Online Video. In the box next to From a Video Embed Code, paste the code you copied from YouTube and then press enter. It may take a few moments for the video to preview. If necessary, right-click on the video, and then select Preview. You can put the video in the presentation either way.
  • Select slide 9 so that it is the active slide. On the Insert tab, Media group, select the arrow under Audio and select Record Audio. Record a short audio clip (about 20 seconds) and tell me why PVCC is a great college.
  • After recording your audio and playing it back, name it PVCC. Then, close the Record Sound audio dialog box. Notice a speaker icon displays on slide 9. Move this icon to the upper left hand corner of slide 9. Click the speaker once to play the audio.
  • On slide 9, in the Notes pane, add the following note: Remember to play the audio.
  • Close the Format Background dialog box by clicking the x in the upper right hand corner.
  • On slide 1, delete the text box that says Fall New Student Orientation. If necessary. Move the textbox that says Welcome Pumas up slightly, and change the font color to a font that is easier to see with the new background image.
  • Select slide 4 so that it is the active slide. Select and delete the Explosion image on slide 4. In that spot, we are going to add a clustered column chart that displays the Average GPA for each athletic team.
  • On the Insert tab, in the Illustrations group, select Chart. In the Insert chart dialog box, select column, and then clustered column , then select ok.
