All attendees (nationwide) who register and attend the Ready for a New Day Office 2007 launch event will receive a free copy of Microsoft Office Professional 2007. I'm not sure if this is limited to business owners or IT department executives, so please make sure and read the details here.
You register for the event by clicking on the Find an Event button (big orange on top of the page right hand side).... I totally missed that for some reason and spent about 10 minutes in frustration trying to figure out how to register.
Brainy Betty will be at the Louisville, KY event on January 30th, so if you see me, (Nan Shastry) please do come up and say hello!
Have a great week!

It' Heeeerrreee! Welcome to 2007!
Hi everyone! Welcome to 2007! I had a great holiday with my entire family - all assorted sisters, brother in laws, nieces and nephews. It was wonderful to be able to take some time off and relax, but... I'm glad to start a fresh new year!
Right off the bat, the new version of Microsoft Office 2007 is now ready to order. It becomes available on January 30th but you can preorder here. I've already ordered my copy and am pretty excited about getting it and upgrading. I've even taken a look at the new Windows Vista operating system as well. If you want a sneak peek to go and play in the new environment - go here.
I don't like resolutions - I never keep them - but here are my GOALS for this year:
1. To post more faithfully to this blog at least once a week.
2. To add at least 4 or 5 new items to Brainy Betty every month. I have 4 new things this month already:

- new flash that you can embed in your presentations (5 new that say "Welcome to 2007!) along with a tutorial about how to embed flash in PPT
- A new tutorial about how to create an animated PowerPoint background
3. to incorporate more video and audio and media into my site - and for your presentations
4. Oh, and the big one: to get my new business intellipodcast up and running before the end of January!
Have a great month and a prosperous new year, everyone!

TILT Episode 7 - Multimedia Animation Using PowerPoint
| In this episode, we look at 3 techniques students (and teachers) can use to create animations in PowerPoint: 1) Custom animation built into PowerPoint (2:27) 2) Keyframe animation with 'Duplicate Slides' and/or with sprites (7:25) 3) 'Flash-once' animation (10:41) I've used all 3 types of animation with kids for different purposes, but by and large the most effective activities I've done are ones that involve students explaining concepts or ideas with animations. | |
