I've always wanted to learn to use powerpoint. I think it scared me. :) Thanks for the tutorial. This creativity thing is hard for me. I'm not much of an artist....mine will be pretty simple, but colorful.

I can see how students can get excited about Synthesis, if they were able to access the information. There are so many ways that they can show what they have learned besides writing a report. I think the majority of my students, feel more comfortable doing creative displays of knowledge and feel very uncomfortable with writing. Powerpoint is a good way for them to display their knowledge and tap into their strengths.
