Whenever I cover PowerPoint presentations with my elementary kids in computer lab, I have always felt "limited" with the choices that I'm given within the program itself. I tend to use the same background each year, because not many appeal to me personally. Tools like these will enable my students (and me) to create presentations that visually appeal to me as well as my audience.
