Computer Talks

Upcoming Computer Talk  |  Selected Past Computer Talks



Omnilore COMPUTER TALKS
Have Resumed -- In-Classroom Only
 

Topic: "Better Presentations with PowerPoint"
Presented by Rick Spillane

January 25, 2024 (Thursday), Noon - 1pm, Suite L8
    • No Zoom -- In-Classroom Only

This Computer Talk will be focusing on everything you need to know and were afraid to ask to successfully use PowerPoint on both Macs and PCs. 
  • The first 30 minutes will focus on how to improve/do a better presentation.
  • The 2nd 30 minutes will be on using PowerPoint.

Rick Spillane will start at the very beginning: How to create a presentation. We will start with an outline of a talk in PowerPoint, and then build and organize slides with your discussion points.

We'll briefly look at customizing your presentation by adding notes to any slide and working with the slide master to set a style for the presentation. We will cover how to use PowerPoint to aid in your presentation and how not to confuse or put people to sleep.

We will end by showing how to save the presentation on a flash drive to move it from your computer to the Omnilore classroom computer. Also we will look at using your IPAD with Bluetooth to show your presentation.

This lecture will enable both novices and veterans to improve their presentations.


Computer Talks are devoted to helping members improve their computer skills.

Almost every month, Omnilore's Computer Working Group sponsors a casual, one-hour presentation called a Computer Talk.  These presentations cover topics that our members have told us they would like to know more about.  Most of the Computer Talks are at a basic level.  Occasionally, the Group sponsors workshops on more advanced topics.

All the Computer Talks are 45 minutes long, followed by a 15-minute question-and-answer period. No registration is necessary.  The Talks are usually scheduled on the 4th Thursday of the month from 12 noon to 1:00 p.m. in Conference Room B at the Edison Center.

The Computer Working Group (CWG) has maintained a Computer Talks Archive covering all aspects of the Group and describing selected former Computer Talks.  We encourage you to visit the Archive (in the members-only password-protected portion of the website), and take a look at all the useful documentation and training presentations provided there.

The Group needs to know what the membership wants to learn about computers.  If you have an idea for a good Computer Talk, or if you see a presentation in the Group's Archive that appeals to you and that you'd like to see updated and repeated at an upcoming Computer Talk, don't hesitate to contact the Computer Working Group via its email address:  CWG@Omnilore.org

The Computer Working Group (CWG) is always looking for new members.  If you are a member with good computer skills, contact CWG@Omnilore.org and they will tell you when the Group is having its next meeting.  Perhaps you don't have time to join the Group but you'd like to help the Group by offering to present a lecture on some topic that you know well.  In either case, the Group would love to hear from you!
