As educational institutions prepare to meet the challenges of the new millennium, it becomes more apparent that computer-competent students should be graduated to meet the needs of the advances in technology in the workplace. One technology that is readily available is presentation software, which allows the student to generate slides, overheads, screenshows, handouts, and speaker notes all from a single file. In the public speaking course, students can be overwhelmed with all the required elements for an effective speech. PowerPoint by Microsoft is user friendly presentation software, which may be purchased alone or as a part of Microsoft Office, and is available for both Macintosh or Windows. (CR)
