After over 20 years working in Special Education I have been conducting professional development for the last eight years in Instructional Technology. Between those two roles I have worked with students aged 5-adults, and with every category of disability. In addition to my full-time, year-round position, I have taught a graduate course in Universal Design for Learning through Gratz College and LaSalle University. All of which means I specialize in finding the right way to teach based on the ways my students learn best!
I have trained thousands of teachers in Microsoft's applications and can help you with both the desktop applications as well as the online (Office 365) versions if you only have access through a Chromebook.
I am the author of the book All the Microsoft Tools You Need to Transform Your Classroom. While I've spent the last 8 years teaching technology to teachers, that includes training them how to teach their students to use the technology. In addition to my full-time job, I am a Learning Specialist for a Microsoft education Global Training Partner. 
If you have an interest in learning to use Minecraft Education Edition or Nearpod we can set up customized sessions on those topics as well.

Did you know PowerPoint is great for recording and narrating videos, creating choose-your-own adventure stories, comic strips, storyboards and animations?
Did you know PowerPoint has accessibility tools like dictation, captions, translations, and templates, that you can practice presenting and PowerPoint can give you automatic feedback, and that you can turn a Word document into a PowerPoint presentation? How about using PowerPoint to create video tutorials, or QR Codes, or word clouds?
I can also show you how to just make good, easy to view, informative, well-designed slideshows.
I've presented PowerPoint at numerous Educational Technology conferences and never get tired of hearing , "I had no idea you could do that in PowerPoint!"

I had a great time with Matthew.  We only had an hour, but he taught me a lot about Word, OneNote, and PowerPoint.  He literally saved me hundreds of dollars because I was going to buy software or have someone write me a program for my business.  What Matthew taught me will allow me to do it myself.  I will definitely be using him again.

You don't need a separate tool to create QR codes when PowerPoint can do that for you! Whether you leave it in your presentation, or you are just using PowerPoint for its QR code making abilities and will export it elsewhere, this tutorial will walk you through the steps.

Create QR Codes in PowerPoint

Did you know there are other options for cropping images besides trimming off the edges? PowerPoint has tools that allow you to crop any image into any shape. (a/k/a "masking")

Crop Pictures into Shapes

Create banner announcements in Microsoft Teams. Customize the banner, add a subheading, format text, and add attachments. Post in any Teams channels.

Announcements in Microsoft Teams

Quickly change selected text into titles, heading and subheadings. Create your own custom "style", including font, font size, color, and even bold or italics. Save it and apply it to any other text.

Show Your Style In Microsoft Word

Each object on a slide in PowerPoint is in a layer. The order they are added determines which layer is on top. Learn to reorder those layers to change which object is on top.

Order Objects on a PowerPoint Slide

Whether a student needs an accommodation for writing, or you just don't type as fast as you talk, dictation makes PowerPoint more accessible, and more efficient. Dictate directly onto slides, or into the Notes section, whether you are using the desktop PowerPoint program or working in the online version of PowerPoint in Microsoft365.

Dictation Makes PowerPoint Accessible and Efficient

Reuse any slide from any of your PowerPoint presentations quickly and easily. You don't even have to leave the presentation you are working in or open any other windows!

Reuse Slides the Easy Way

When you create a new PowerPoint slideshow, do you always just start with a blank template? Why not let PowerPoint give you a head start in your creative process? 
What about your students? DO you have some who have good ideas, but they really struggle to get started, or don't know how to present the ideas they have?
Introducing PowerPoint QuickStarter- the, well, the quick way to get started!

QuickStarter Topics in PowerPoint

Like all Microsoft tools, PowerPoint has accessibility features like dictation built in. No third-party add-ons or extensions needed! The dictation in PowerPoint doesn't just work in the notes section- you can dictate all the text right onto your slides as well!
Dictation is available in many languages, in both the desktop and online versions of PowerPoint.

Dictation on Slides and in Notes

You may be familiar with the faint lines that pop up as you drag objects around on a slide that show you when they are aligned with the top, middle, bottom, right or left of another object. If so, you have probably also been frustrated by how many lines pop up when there are several objects on your slide. This video shows a much easier way to get multiple objects aligned with exactly what you want them aligned with.
