PowerPoint fun for everyone

Does anyone remember the activity Mr. Smith made use do a few weeks ago that involved using a PowerPoint software?  I do, and I would like to share my experince of that activity.  I found the project to be very helpful in the sense of making a fun interactive lesson for the students.  Who would of thought that PowerPoint could be turned into a review game or a self learning tool for the children.  Some of the benefits I found with this activity was how easy it was to set up.  My project took me several hours but it was simple in the task skills needed to run the software.  I also saw how it could work in a real class room by just adding a few "wow" slides thst caught the chidren's attention.  The only downfalls I found with this project was simple little things like video or sounds not playing on que, or not working all together.  Even though there are these some problems with the software I still find PowerPoint as a major tool that I may use in my class in the near future.
