My Real Hero PPT

The Rod Carew PowerPoint presentation (created by Mr. Rodin and edited by yours truly) can be viewed by anyone in this post. This example is not a perfect example of a finished product. The errors are left intentionally for class discussion and improvement.

This is the first time it has been uploaded to Google docs so be patient as we work out "the bugs". It is designed to "run" on its own, but online it won't advance to the next slide automatically so you will have to do so manually. Be sure to check the requirements for this project on my webpage.

Readability and Comprehension

I added a link to "My Links" to an excellent example of how to make text more readable on the web. In the "Readability Example" link you will find a section of text from an online class at Oregon State University for an Earth Science class. The Google document has 2 images; 1 showing the original text and the 2nd the revised version.

The process of making paragraphs of text easy to digest online is not easy and there is never a "right answer". And, it can always be improved. It is always a work in progress.

Thank you to Barry Jahn and Dale Adkins for their part in this project.
