How cool is this everybody?

Wow! Whoever thought we'd be living the day when PowerPoint would do more than deliver info.? Imagine using the software (is that the right term?) for the creation of e books for our kids where they can interact to some extent with the material, have fun, be motivated as a result and improve their literacy in the long run. Why didn't we think of this sooner? Reflect on our first intercourse with computers, PowerPoint was one of the first thing we were taught and at the time, it seemed so laborious. Now we have so many toys to play with to 'trick up' our presentations. I have been so motivated that I have started working on several for my students and I anticipate getting from them in return as assessments. I have been excitedly exploring the voice over, the fly ins, the whooshes and clicks, importing clip art, images and making links and everything that the technology offers. In short I am having fun and I realize that if I am motivated then I would be infectious. Effective leadership is the key! I can get my students and co-workers excited about the technology to help us work smart with improved results, and not necessarily hard the old way with minimal results. Power to the Point!
