PRESENTATION NOTES:
Quick Time movies and audio clips may be embedded within a PowerPoint presentation.  When used correctly, these additions can provide stimulation for those with an auditory or visual learning style.  Too often presentations are *static, simply moving from slide to slide, without taking advantage of embedding.  Because the program is easy to learn and fun to use, new users tend to put too many animations and sounds into presentations.  This can be both annoying and distracting.
