Hello Linda, I am certainly not an accounting guru, but I have 19 years of teaching experience in the computer/typing areas. I too work through various concepts before my presentations even after doing them for 19 years. It is nothing like the feeling of being ready and prepared. I am a big PowerPoint fan as well. My students love the various PowerPoint presentations pertaining to the different subject matters. PowerPoint is definitely a great time saver, and as you mentioned, the time that is saved can be used to help students. My students have gotten use to this helpful teaching tool (PowerPoint) also. PowerPoint has made alot of educators and students lives easier! Patricia
