This site rocks! You'll never use PowerPoint again. It takes a while to get used to, but the effort is worth it. I've done up this presentation for my year 11s to introduce them to history. I plan on playing 'Golden Years' by David Bowie and 'Think About It' by Flight of the Conchords in the background as a soundtrack. I'm guessing that you could edit and use it if you wanted. Pretty cool!

VERY COOL!!!! I'm sure it took a LOT of time to create!!! It's awesome! Thanks for sharing it!
