What Are These Lessons?:
The lessons I have posted are ones that I created to teach a class of family history researchers. They are designed to provide information, outlines, tips, resources and new ideas to help each of us in our research and should work for all skill levels. These lessons were created in PowerPoint and designed for use in a classroom setting. I have published them on this site for others to use in their home or to teach with. I have converted the lessons to be viewed without using PowerPoint or a PowerPoint viewer so all you need is the internet. I did not set up the lessons to run automatically but to be advanced click by click each time you are ready to move forward, as a teacher would use it . This way you can take as much time as you need to discuss a particular point or to study the slides.
How Do I View The Lessons?:
- Choose the lesson you want on the side bar and click to open the blog page.
- Click on the image of the lesson or the link to the lesson.
- This will open the lesson in a new window for you to view.
- Wait about 10-15 seconds for the lesson to load before you begin.
- Click on the image/slide, not the tool bar on the bottom, to advance the lesson.
- If it doesn't start when you click, try clicking again in a few seconds.
- Continue to click on the image each time you are ready to move on to the next part of the lesson.
- Return to the lesson blog page after viewing the lesson for additional tips and handouts in this topic.
How Do I Use The Viewer?:
Note: Opening the slide reel allows you to speed through the slides if you want to find one later in the lesson.
