Introduction...
Below is a link to the Next Generation Video cache that you might find helpful. Tonight we will view the Overview video simply to give you an overall preview of how the system operates. We will then break things down into the basic steps you might want to use for this week's assignment which is to create a simple set of slides to teach a lesson. Don't worry about finding all the features ...just the basics this week! The idea is to get used to the main toolbars that you will regularly use. Again, feel free to click around to find other features, however a word of caution, at this stage it can become rather mind boggling!
Working Through the Toolbars...
The most effective way to learn these tools is to "click"... however, we will systematically work through the manual in order not to miss any of the specific tools that Next Generation has to offer. You will need most of what we learn tonight to complete this week's lesson. Remember, for your own sanity, use the basic tools and try not to get too fancy just yet. You want to create a lesson that is simple and easy for you to use in your class. So here we go!
