PowerPoint

http://www.online.tusc.k12.al.us/tutorials/pptclass/pptclass.htm Who said PowerPoints are boring? They can be extremely creative and interactive for students and teachers. What a great way for students to demonstrate higher order thinking by creating their own PowerPoint for presentations or demonstrations. Images, audio and video can all be added to capture the attention of the audience. But how do I upload my PowerPoints?
