Below are the PowerPoint presentations used by the instructors at the workshop.

Some hints for viewing these:

• First and foremost--you will need PowerPoint or a PowerPoint Viewer to access these files.  If you don't have PowerPoint installed on your computer, these files should open using the PowerPoint Viewer included on the CD.  Click if you need PowerPoint Viewer. The viewer won't allow you to edit.

• Some files are quite large.  They may be easier to work with if you save the file on your hard drive. 

• Click on "Slide Show" on the menu bar of PowerPoint and then "view show" to see slides full screen.  A click of the mouse will advance to the next slide.

• You can save pictures and graphics by right clicking the mouse over the picture and then selecting "save picture as" from the drop-down menu.
