Other Uses for PowerPoint?

Are you tired of writing boring step-by-step instructions that you know your students aren’t going to read anyway? Would you like to present policies, rules, or guidelines in a fresh, new way?

Well, here’s an alternative you might consider.

Can you think of any ways you could do something similar for your class?
