For the next few weeks, the students will create an avatar choosing between two free internet sites listed in the Useful Programs sidebar.  They will capture the screen and paste the image in Paint.  In Paint, they will edit the image and save it to their computer.  They will insert the image  in a blank slide using Microsoft Power Point.  In Power Point, they will use a vertical wordart to type in their first name.  Using the text tool, they will create words from the letters in their name that describe them.  They will save their slides on their computer.  Using Google Docs, they will each import their slide in to one presentation to create a “Get to Know My Class” portfolio.  The pdf instruction files for this project can be found by clicking on the picture below.
