I deleted the note concerning a Power point presentation to student teachers.
Each semester, I hold an in-service after school for the student teachers.
Sometimes it is the only time, they darken my doors the whole semester.  I
have snacks, do a tour, give them the Instructional Television books, discuss
copyright and offer to help them gather resources, etc.  I would like to see
the Power point presentation when it is finished.  That sounds like a neat way
to introduce the interns to the media center.
