As an alternative, allow students to use an interactive online tool to create a similar slideshow presentation, using a site such as Zoho Show (reviewed here). This site is easier to use than PowerPoint and FREE! Another advantage to Zoho Show versus PowerPoint is that students can collaborate and work together, even on different computers with a simple URL address.
