• Powerpoint training questions for mobile https://mrlewis.typeform.com/to/FC5EjE
• Powerpoint training for computer https://mrlewis.typeform.com/to/oMDDDN
• Easy way to make awesome, interactive lessons: 1) Start with Prezi instead of powerpoint. Much more engaging and exciting way to present material. 2) Record that prezi with a screenrecording software like screencastomatic. 3) Embed questions into the video with a free program like eduCanon. Questions are great for adding engagement/accountability and eduCanon analytics gives you a sense of the topics that confused your students. 
  Here is an example that Ms Bryan made on the Rise of Monarchies. Enjoy! http://www.educanon.com/public/3/29524?edmodo

COMMANDS 

Ctrl + A = Highlight All

Ctrl + C = Copy

Ctrl + V = Paste

Ctrl + Z = Undo

Ctrl + Y = Redo

Alt + Tab = Cycle through Windows

Ctrl + Tab = Cycle through tabs in your browser

Windows Button + Tab = Cycle through Windows in a different way.

Last but not least, use Ctrl + F to find whatever word you are looking for.  Take for instance if I am trying to research Michael Jordan.  I go to wikipedia.org and type in Michael Jordan.  Easy.  What about if I want to find out how many points he scored in his career?  It would take me forever and a day to scroll down the entire page, and I still might not find it.  Hold down Ctrl and press the F key, type in points, and BAM!  First result will give you his points.
