There are times when advancing and learning of new technologies is a wonderful thing as long as one can also retain new information along with previously learned knowledge.

Along with this informative we have also learned of the importance of the system development life cycle (SDLC) in regards to the planning, organizing, and implementing of information systems to include the project management of IT acquisitions, hardware and software selections. Last week, during week 4 we learned about the program and functions of Microsoft PowerPoint. There is a number of things that many have previous learned of have knowledge of pertaining to PowerPoint although one very important function that were unaware of to many, if not all, members of Team A. Those features consisted of the Notes Page View, Slide Sorter View and the Presenter View.

Lastly, is the Presenter View which is a compact view option that provides the presenter with a screen shot of the current screen in combination with other handy tools that can only be viewed by the presenter them self.
