    I really love the clipart, directions in between slides, and the font! It looks great up on my projector.

    Do you happen to have this in a powerpoint that I could use? I have a clicker to use in my classroom to advance powerpoint, it would not work in PDF today.

    Thanks!

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thanks for the feedback. The PDF will work in the same manner as a PowerPoint. Click on “View”, then select “Full Screen Mode.” From there, you will be able to use your clicker just as you would with a PowerPoint. I hope this helps!
