Oh and yes, I have created a PowerPoint presentation many times. For some reason I’m not all that good at it though. Maybe it’s because of the old version I’m on. I’m guessing the new version probably has a lot of cool templates.
As a teacher, I used PowerPoint a lot. Please count me in.

Lots of Power Point presentations…one on the history of eugenics for a college class, one for my cousin’s funeral, and one for the closing arguments of a serial rapist trial when I was a law clerk for a prosecutor jump to mind as most memorable.

I am a college student and have to use powerpoint almost everyday, because I am currently taking my classes online since I am having a baby soon. However, I am tired of having to go to the library every day. Winning this would help me SO MUCH!
