Hands-On Practice: Using Microsoft PowerPoint
Software on a SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard
Before You Start
Before you begin, ensure that your computer is turned on and the SMART Board™ interactive whiteboard
is connected and oriented.
This Hands-On Practice assumes you have a basic understanding of the Microsoft Windows operating
system.
Preparation
Assume your supervisor has requested a brief presentation on the topic of productivity in the office. The
preliminary work on your presentation requires you to incorporate feedback and suggestions from your
colleagues. The final presentation will be presented to your supervisor.

whiteboard.
