Updated my portion of the Handout 4/29/ 2011~Toni Updated the document, such as margins, header, and font size in order to get a few resource links added. I also created a PDF version that could be used to uploade to D2L: Chris Added a PDF version: Chris Here is the PowerPoint with my portion so far. I will be making a few adjustments that I will have ready sometime tomorrow. Does anyone object if I change the background to a blue that is a little more pleasing to the eye? That way it will get rid of the streaks in the background on the current template. Please look at the PowerPoint and let me know if you like the background better. I left some the original way for comparison purposes. I think it is easer to view with the blue background. Updated my slides. I like the background. Bill 4/30/2011 6:49pm
