Notes for PowerPoint Presentation

• The download page includes this PowerPoint file
  and four video clip files that should also be
  downloaded and placed in a folder with the ppt
  file
• It works well to insert video clips directly into
  the PowerPoint presentation file this avoids
  awkward transitions between ppt and a movie
  application
• Instructions for inserting movies are given on
  relevant pages of this ppt file
• Its safest to insert the movies into the ppt file
  using the same computer that you will be using
  during class to ensure that the movie clips
  play successfully
• The video clips from Ferocious Beauty Genome are
  best seen in a slightly darkened classroom its
  good to pre-test the room you will be using
