Editing bad PowerPoints in class: enjoying each other's stress

WELL. I would just like to say that I thoroughly enjoy editing things. I love proofreading and I love fixing presentations to look nice. Starting with other people's horribly formatted text and fixing it gives me great pleasure. I'm not sure what happened in this class! Perhaps it was working with a MacBook Pro, or perhaps it was just that I didn't feel connected to the assignment, but I didn't love it as much as I usually do. One thing that I think we all enjoyed was listening to each other be confused by Macs. Teena was stressed out and that made me laugh. Then when I got stressed out, she laughed at me. And when one of the boys couldn't figure out why his computer was typing all in caps (his CAPS LOCK was on), we all laughed.

Five things I changed from Marlo's original, wonderfully horribly formatted original PowerPoint:

1. I took all of the text and put it on a total of six slides instead of the original three.
2. I added some relevant photos
3. I edited some of the text, as there were some grammatical errors, spelling errors, syntax errors, etc.
4. I added a decent first page with an interesting and beautiful photo and a descriptive title.
5. I chose colours that were associated with the topic of fire (orange and black) for the background and fonts.

My version is obviously superior. Looking at it at the end is definitely enjoyable. But I think I like this part the best - the explaining what I did. Or perhaps the part I liked best was the part where Maurice and I learned how to "print screen" with a Mac (ctrl+shift+4 and then select the area you want OR ctrl+shift+3 if you just want to select the whole screen).
