Google Docs Presentation
Please consider using the Google Docs "presentation" for your PowerPoint. It is stable and offers several cool templates. Just log into your gmail/Google Account, click on "documents" at the top of the page, and then choose "new" and then "from template; you can narrow the templates by document type. Here are a few sneak peeks of some templates:
- Scrapbook Album (ppt/presentation sample in Google Docs)
- Need a travel itenirery? Preview this Google Doc template

Best of all, your work in Google Docs can be published as a web page. If you are intersted in using Google Sites for your project to house your embedded Google docs and maps (if you choose to create), Ms. Hamilton will help you pull it all together.
