Additional Comments
Before I did this lesson with my students we had already completed a lesson on "Virtual Missions". This lesson included power point presentations as well. This lesson really helped students get familiar with power point and use the program with a lot of comfort. This lesson, "Virtual Mission", is created by my collegue Kristy Windy.
