Final thought..

PowerPoint is a great tool for students to use to “create” a project in class. One part of the PowerPoint project is

to incorporate a video clip of the subject matter at hand. Creating

projects with different digital media is exciting and fun. Students could even star in their own video that

could be part of their final project. The ideas are unlimited.
