Any presentation is enhanced by pictures and videos. Want to make your work look like it was made by a pro? Then keep reading.
Step one: Your digital camera came with a cord that attaches it to the computer. Once you've plugged the cord into the camera and then stuck the other end in the computer, turn the camera on.
Step two: Pretty soon, you'll see an icon flash on your computer screen. Now you know you're in business.
Step three: Open a window on the internet. Go up to "file" and find "open file". Click on it.
Step four: Look familiar? You should see a screen that pops up whenever you save anything. Find the option on the left-hand side that says "removable disk". That connects to your camera. Click on it.
Step five: This will bring up a file that's called something like "DCIM". Double click on it.
Step six: Find the next file, called "100SSCAM", or something very similar. Double click on it.
Step seven: Now you'll see a long list of pictures. If you click-hold on one and move it around, the image will show up and you can see which picture it is. Rename the pic to make it easier to find later.
Step eight: Once you've found the picture/video you want in your presentation, and you've renamed it, click-hold it and drag it over to the left-hand side, where you will find your H:. Hover it over the H: until it's highlighted and "drop" it in.
Step nine: Look in your H: to see if it really ended up in there. If it did, you can double-click on it to open it, or click once and hit open.
Step ten: Once it's open, right click on the picture and select "copy image" from the drop menu. Now you can "paste" it in a word document to enhance your presentation.
Pictures and videos help make your work look snazzy. Say goodbye to boring work, and hello to awesome technology! :)
