Welcome

This is the official site for PowerPoint for Physical Educators via the Internet sponsored by Bonnie's Fitware, Inc.

Comments from a Former Student
 
As I reflect upon Bonnie Mohnsen's course, Using technology in Physical Education - PowerPoint Skills, I realize the key to knowledge is to keep exploring. At times, I was frustrated with my lack of understanding of this technology, but through perserverance and Bonnie's instruction, I was able to learn new programs/applications. Then, with this knowledge, I was able to accomplish the assigned tasks.
 
I found the unrestricted time requirements for completion of each Module refreshing. I was able to create, edit and apply new applications without the stress of a strict deadline. Each succeeding Module built upon the ones preceding it, so I was able to apply lessons I learned and grow to understand its multiple applications. The Module assignments also challenged me to use unfamiliar programs (i.e.:  MovieMaker, Media Player) to learn about inserting and editing various components into the presentations. This knowledge will be enormously helpful in the future. I especially appreciated Bonnie's patience and constructive critiques throughout the course.
 
This course was exhilarating, stimulating and challenging. I enjoyed creating the various PowerPoint presentations and plan to create more for use both in my classes and at workshops for Physical Educators.
