This site is a course that teaches you how to use PowerPoint to create various projects. I especially liked it because it gives specific instructions and illustrations of how to navigate to create presentations. It also shows examples of projects that have been created and can be used as a model/guide.
This is a great site that gives details and clips on how to download and create movies using Movie Maker. The instructions are very detailed, yet simple to understand with screencast that displays the steps for creating movies and slideshows. There are several versions of Movie Maker to use with various operating systems. With Windows XP, you can get movie Maker as a free download. In Windows vista, it comes with the operating system. With Windows 7 it is a free download through Windows Live Essentials. I chose to use this program with Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 to present my workshop because they seem to compliment it each other well. I can use the slides from PowerPoint that Movie Maker will transform into a movie with very few steps. If you have images saved on your computer you can turn the pictures into a video. Movie Maker has a storyboard that makes it easy to turn photos into slideshows by importing your photographs and dropping them onto a storyboard that can be easily rearranged to suit your needs. It is also easy to add various effects to the slides. I especially like this program because it does many steps for you when you convert the slides to a movie by simply clicking a button.
