Today's Activity:  Complete Case 3 - Design and Create a Portable Media Player Presentation

          Video tape recorders were immensely popular more than three decades ago with several competing standards introduced in the market.  Each technology touted different features.  Today, the situation is similar with portable media players and cellular telephones that can download music from the Internet or rip files from your computer.  Your supervisor at NextPhase Electronics recognizes buyers need assistance learning about these devices. 

          She has asked you to prepare a presentation summarizing and comparing two of these devices for next month’s Saturday Seminar Series at the store.  Research two specific portable media players and create slides of the following attributes:  model features, user interface, and finding and loading songs.  Select art and photographs from the Microsoft Clip Organizer and the Internet. 

          Add a title slide and summary slide to complete your presentation.  Format the title slide with a shape and the text with colors and bolding where needed for emphasis.  Add transitions to the slides.  Save the presentation as YourName Case 3.  Print as Handouts (6 to a page).
