Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Exercise in futility?
Teaching kids to use restraint with "gooshy effects and shit"? I reeeeeally don't think that's going to work.

New No, it does.
I was surprised when I saw it, too.

There's a kid at church, son of the worship minister, who runs the computer sometimes for the songwords. He'd learnt a bit about PowerPoint at school and I was impressed at his attitude. They teach a lot about how to use the program, obviously, but they also teach mundane things that make a presentation look professional. And he understood on his own why you don't go overboard.

I think experience helps a lot and if you give them experience, they learn past most of the newbie mistakes. And really, most of the mistakes people make in PowerPoint with 'too much' are newbie mistakes.

Wade.


Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please



-- "Anything but Ordinary" by Avril Lavigne.
