Notice to PSEP Educators 1. Keep this Slide Number 2 as hidden
so that it will not be seen during your presentation. 2. After each
question is addressed with your audience during the Jeopardy Game,
click on the tree graphic in the lower right hand corner in order
to return back to the Jeopardy game board rather than using the
typical slide advance method. 3. The color of the point numbers on
the Jeopardy game board (Slide 3) will be subdued after completing
each question. Then, youll know which question/answer combinations
have already been played. 4. To reset the colors for all point
numbers, just exit the PowerPoint file and re-open it. 5. To
Calibraineous -- 50 Points slide refers to the DRIFTSIM software
that was distributed to you for the 2006 PSEP. You have the option
to use this slide to introduce and demonstrate DRIFTSIM. Then,
return back to the PowerPoint presentation by X-ing out of
DRIFTSIM. a. A green Start DRIFTSIM button is at the bottom of this
PowerPoint slide. Placing your cursor over this button and
left-clicking will boot the DRIFTSIM program on your computer. b.
Procedure: Copy all DRIFTSIM files from the DRIFTSIM CD into a
created folder on your hard disk. I suggest creating a DRIFTSIM
subdirectory under Program Files and copy all DRIFTSIM files and
folders to this location. c. IMPORTANT: In this slide, edit the
Start DRIFTSIM button hyperlink in PowerPoint to locate the
DRIFTSIM.EXE file on your hard disk. This button is currently
hyperlinked to the DRIFTSIM.EXE file as found on my computer. It
will need to be changed to locate this file on your computer. 6.
Edit the questions/answers in this PowerPoint file as you wish to
localize your PSEP program. 7. Adapt this PowerPoint Jeopardy Game
for other Extension programs and audiences. 8. Enjoy this Extension
delivery method. - Larry Schulze, Professor Emeritus
