PowerPoint troubleshooting

I had a frustrating time even submitting my PowerPoint presentation due to the dial-up nightmare that I am living. I went to my girlfriend Jodi's just to upload it. At home, the presentation was timed perfectly with smooth transitions and appropriate sounds. At Jodi's, the presentation was off with sounds missing. Frustrating. I had only one choice; submit and hope it worked for Peter my instructor. Beggers can't be choosers so they say. I would have loved to do more with it with music and more specific examples actual projects.
The beauty is that it is not difficult and I will make a genuine effort to use it for my FSL students regularly. I do plan on using Smart Notebook so I will have to familiarize myself with it more. The students will enjoy interactive activities. And so will I.

As for my presentation, I would love to submit it here but there is no way I could without:
1. Poking myself in the eyeballs with chopsticks
2. Expiring from lack of movement
3. Missing the end of the course by the time it is actually submitted.

Downloading and toying with it further would cause me to stress beyond words today. One assignment down, one to go. Of course, I could always go to Jodi's again. But then again, I need to bite the bullet and get to work.
