POWERPOINTING THE WAY
Creative & effective use of PowerPoint in the Liturgy

The multi-media age is here to stay. Microsoft PowerPoint software has revolutionised the way presentations are given in the work place - now it's in our classrooms and increasingly in our prayer times... with varying degrees of success.

Our PowerPointing the Way INSET course explores how Microsoft PowerPoint can be used effectively to enhance liturgy and collective worship. This is a course that we have developed in response to many requests from teachers and liturgists across the country who have seen the regular use of this audio-visual technology in our own work and ministry.

Who should attend
This course focuses not so much on the basics of using PowerPoint, but on using it effectively as an aid to prayer rather than a distraction. No previous knowledge of PowerPoint is required, but a reasonable level of computer literacy and terminology is assumed.
