I have to say, I'm pretty darn pleased with how this turned out. We had the first of four student orientations today, and for the most part, it went well. I wanted to create the library portion as more interactive as opposed to just me spewing out statistics. I came up with the theme of a library "quiz" - the new students' first quiz of what they might know, and what they should know, about the Rasmussen College Library System.
I created the slides first with Office 2007, but I wanted to get them into the library and use the AWESOME large monitors on the Mac. To do that, of course, I needed to figure out Mac's version of PowerPoint - KeyNote. I then was able to publish it with QuickTime! You'll need to pause the "movie" to read all the bullet points. Thanks to Chandra for the awesome "Librarian Secrets to Success!"
Orientation #2 is tomorrow night.
