Tutorial on digital book

View my tutorial on how to create a digital book on PowerPoint.

I am really glad I created my tutorial on digital books. I plan on sharing my tutorial with my colleagues in a staff meeting. It was easy to create, because I just typed what I would have wanted to know. It is simple enough to give people as a handout for them to figure out on their own. I chose to create a tutorial on digital books, because my students and I are making a digital poetry book on Powerpoint this week. I easily forget things if I don't take notes, so it was important for me to create instructions for myself to use in the future. I learned how to use the print screen button--it is so easy, and makes reading the instructions much easier.

Tutorials really do make a world of difference. I would like to make some simple tutorials for my students, such as how to create a PowerPoint presentation. The print screen feature is so cool. I can't believe I had never learned how to do it before! I like to make the kind of tutorials that I would like to read...short, sweet, to the point, and with important things in bold. If it gets too complicated you might as well read the manual--and no one wants to do that. Maybe I'll get really ambitious and help my kids create their own tutorials after they become experts in a program. They would get a kick out of the print screen button.
