Exercises Using the Web

Exercise #1

You have been asked by your supervisor to recommend a digital camera for use in your department. He would like to have at lest three alternatives offered to him. Use http://www.zdnet.com/reviews/ to read reviews on digital cameras and make your decision.

Create the presentation using an animated GIF on the Title Slide. Present the names of three recommended cameras on the second slide and add a slide for each camera where you present the Pros and Cons of that model. Hyperlink the camera name on the second slide to the individual slide for that camera. Put a back button on each camera slide that will take you back to the slide with all three models listed. Practice your presentation by showing it to a friend. Use the Meeting Minder to take notes based on your friend’s comments and assign yourself at least one task based on the comments.

Save your presentation as camera.ppt.

Exercise #2

You are taking a class on Video compression and have been using the resource at http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/97/34/index1a.html?tw=multimedia. Your professor has assigned each student to submit 5 multiple-choice questions with the solutions marked. You must also have your questions reviewed by at least two other classmates. You have decided to create an interactive PowerPoint to submit your questions. Begin with a slide using “Video Compression Questions as the Title and your name and date as the subtitle. Add a slide for each question and link each incorrect answer to a “Wrong Answer” response slide and each correct answer to a “Correct” response slide. Be sure to include a link back to the main question slide from each response slide. Send your finished review to your two friends using Microsoft Outlook by adding a routing slip and sending it with the slip. Include your professor as the last recipient before the presentations is returned to you. If you do not have Outlook, forward it as an e-mail attachment. Save the presentation as Video.ppt and then publish it as a web page to a local drive.
