Jodi Martin posted Accessing Presentation Files
I know that this should be really obvious, but I can't figure out how to access the .zip presentation files. I have extracted the files, but I can't seem to figure out how to actually view the Powerpoint presentations. Any help would be appreciated!
Cyndi Nagel: I had the same issue. Instead of extracting the files, change the file name ending from .zip to .pptx That's what I did and they worked.
Brian Hogsett: Thanks Cyndi, it worked!
Jodi Martin: Thanks Cyndi!

Someone sent me a link I thought others might be interested in. It is a video created by Price Waterhouse Coopers as part of one of learning pieces. It is based on a familiar sitcom you may recognize. Cyndi Nagel http://www.pwc.com/extweb/career.nsf/...
jeff trimble: This is really cool. Thanks for sending this out. How do we get access to the rest of the videos? I would like to see if I can use this with my company.
Cyndi Nagel: Hi Jeff, I was sent the link from one of my Linked In groups. I will try to find some resources. I think there was a session presenter from PWC at the conference. I'm going to see if he can share any more. I believe they built it all in-house. Real employees, and they just scripted out the various scenes. Very clever, and who doesn't relate to "The Office" these days.

Elaine Fisher: I hope you are going to post your presentation since you went through the presentation so quickly it was not possible to absorb if it all of this is new to you. I thought based on the session title, this session was designed for those who do not have experience with Social Media. It is very interesting, but with so many possibilities I need more informational references to teach myself about these media. Thanks

Art Paton posted Rides To Airport
I am interested in finding someone who is traveling to SLC airport around 2:30 pm on Friday who can provide a ride for me. There may be others interested in the same arrangement. You may be returning a rental car with seats available. You may know of a low cost shuttle and could share that information.... Lets connect.
