Visuals are almost a necessity in today's meetings, but a Purdue University expert says that a poorly designed presentation can significantly detract from the impact of your message. Taggart Smith, a professor of organizational leadership and supervision in the College of Technology, says that while computer technology makes it easy to create interesting visual elements for a talk, it's also easy to create a presentation that fails to engage viewers and instead bores and confuses them. | ||

Effort will help Henry County 4-H'ers with Internet projects | ||
|
An associate professor at Purdue College of Technology at Anderson/Muncie is making it easier for students in at least one Indiana county to create Internet-based projects in 4-H. Gary Randolph in the Department of Computer and Information Technology has for the last year been rewriting decade-old manuals about the Internet for Purdue Extension of Henry County. The goal is to update these guides for 4-H'ers to make them useful and relevant for today's tech-savvy students to help them in their 4-H projects. Randolph rewrote and updated four manuals, each written for different age levels: * Understanding the Internet, geared toward grades 3-4, covers topics such as getting on the Internet, e-mail, Web browsers, blogs and social networking. * How the Internet Works, geared toward grades 5-6, covers topics such as IP addresses, Wi-Fi and search engines. * Creating Web Pages, geared toward grades 7, 8 and 9, covers topics such as how to view and create HTML codes and tags, images and tables. * Web Design with Style, geared toward grades 10-12, covers designing and styling websites with cascading style sheets (CSS). The first two manuals were distributed to students last year, and the second two will be distributed to 4-H'ers as they begin their projects in February. Bethany Ratts, Henry County 4-H youth development county Extension director, said Delaware County also used the updated manuals last year and other counties have inquired about using all four in the series. Barbara J. Alder, director of the College of Technology at Anderson/Muncie, said this is the latest example of how the college is partnering with Purdue Extension to make an impact around the state. | ||
