Tightwad Tuesday

Hello and welcome to my Tightwad Tuesday tip!!! If you'd like more tips, please go see Mary over @ Canadagirl!

We had our first co-op class yesterday. It was CRAZY!!!! Well, I am team teaching the 50 states and Gen. Science class. I had info I wanted to share with the class, but we didn't have powerpoint.

Hmmm, what should I do? Power Point is NOT CHEAP and I'm not going to pirate a copy. I guess I'll have to show the pictures some other way!!!

Welllll, through my hubby doing some internet searches he found a $12 version of a compatable 'off brand' powerpoint. Pretty cheap, right?! I like free better. Don't you? My hubby felt funny about downloading an 'off brand' so we sat down together and did some research. We read feedbacks we found on this $12 version and found out there was a FREE download! WHOOOO HOOOO!!!

It's called OpenOffice.org 3.0.0! Now, for you skeptics, we haven't had ANY trouble with our computer since downloading it!! I AM SOOO EXCITED!!! I put together my first ever powerpoint!! I'm pretty proud of myself!

I was even able to burn this to a cd and run it on the equipment at church!!! How cool it that?!

Well, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!!!

Wow, I had no idea that there was a free version of Power Point out there. Thanks so much for sharing this; I will have to bookmark it for future reference. Power Point is such a handy program to have.

I'm glad to hear your co-op went so well!! It sounds like your kids will be having a great year. :)

Have a lovely week!
