For Professional Experience #3, you will locate an article, video, or other resource that relates to
using PowerPoint or effective slide design and utilize PowerPoint to write your summary and
include your link.
 
Instructions:
Step One: Access and download the “Week 5 PPT Resources” file. This file link will take you to
a PowerPoint presentation template entitled "PPT_Resources." Once downloaded, review the
document.
Step Two: Save the file to your desktop using the following file name format:
 YourFirstName_YourLastName_Wk5_PPT.pptx
 Example: Ed_Buchanan_Wk5_PPT.pptx
Step Three: Locate an article, video, or another resource that relates to using PowerPoint or
effective slide design. Make sure the article or video is about how to do a PowerPoint
Presentation. No other topics should be used.
Step Four: The PPT template you downloaded has two slides: a title slide and a body slide (slide
2). Write a brief summary of your resource on the body slide only. Do not write fewer than 20
words or more than 50 words or else the submission will not be eligible for credit.
Step Five: Include a link to the resource/information on the body slide. Provide a hyperlink (not
a URL) on the slide so that your professor can read the article or watch the video. The link will
not count towards your word count. Save all changes that you have made to the document with
your name in the file name.

assignment link in Blackboard.
