Slide Show Help
PowerPoint 2007 ppsx files
The slide shows on this site are made with PowerPoint 2007 and are ppsx files (xml files) associated with Office 2007 and later. Wikipedia provides a detailed explanation of Office Open XML files (see item #56 in the References).
PowerPoint 97-2003 pps files
PowerPoint 97-2003 pps files cannot be uploaded to this site because the content management system (CMS) does not recognise the old pps file type.
Opening ppsx shows with a pre-2007 version of PowerPoint
If you wish to view and save the files here and have an older version of PowerPoint relying on Office 97 Office 2000 or Office 2003 compatibility, and cannot upgrade, you can download and install converters for PowerPoint 2003 or earlier from the Mocrosoft site.
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
The International Society for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (ISAAC) works to improve the lives of children and adults who use AAC. ISAAC’s vision is that AAC will be recognized, valued and used throughout the world. ISAAC’s mission is to promote the best possible communication for people with complex communication needs.
The society defines AAC as, 'a set of tools and strategies that an individual uses to solve everyday communicative challenges. Communication can take many forms such as: speech, a shared glance, text, gestures, facial expressions, touch, sign language, symbols, pictures, speech generating devices, etc. Everyone uses multiple forms of communication, based upon the context and our communication partner. Effective communication occurs when the intent and meaning of one individual is understood by another person. The form is less important than the successful understanding of the message.'
October is ISAAC's AAC Awareness Month (Twitter hash tag #AACaware)
