Thank you for all of your great comments on touch screen programs. We now have these inexpensive interpretive resources set up in 17 Minnesota State Parks and visitors are really enjoying them. After one year of developing these programs using PowerPoint 2007 and running them on surplus computers without PowerPoint software, we have learned many new tips and tricks to creating them. A new edition of the Touch Screen User Guide is currently being created. If you are interested in developing your own touch screen programs, please email me at kacie.carlson@state.mn.us. Happy Holidays, Kacie Hello Everyone!

We are looking into this for our Nature Center at Kohler-Andrae State Park in Sheboygan, Wi. I am very familiar with power point. This sounds like something that would not be too difficult although it would take some time to set up. Jim Would you please send me a copy of the users guide?

I've been experimenting with the idea of using Powerpoint for an electronic interactive, and it's terrific to see some other examples. One of the constant challenges we have in our agency relats to funding for interactive exhibits and this is a very cost-effective approach for those of us on a tight budget. Cheers, William Kia ora Kacie,

With Microsoft PowerPoint, the options are nearly endless. We are just about finished writing a User Guide to creating touch screens. Would you be interested in a copy? As for manufacturers, there are many options available depending on what you're looking for; indoor or outdoor, kiosk or free-standing style, all-in-one computers or just the monitor. A search of the internet would provide you with several good companies to choose from. ~Kacie Josh~

After a one-minute read, I believe I can set up such a kiosk. People seem drawn toward easily accessible information that a kiosk might provide. I wonder if you should discuss programming interactivity and linking pages together with more depth. Any information on manufacturers of touchscreens?
