I asked if you could merge power points and run them on a loop in windows 2003. 
Here are the responses. Many which were part of a previous hit. Thanks everyone.

The trick is to be sure that in Preferences, under the Advanced Tab, the
box is checked for multiple backgrounds.  Then you can simply import the
slides from one presentation into another.  Sometimes it helps if you
are working in the slide sort view, rather than just the normal slide
view; the backgrounds seem to not change that way.

If they are all saved on the same folder, I'd open one PPT and go to
insert slide and click on each one of the other PPT's and insert them.

I believe you can merge the slides.  I would start with a blank
document; click on "insert", "from files" then find the first student's
document.  Click on "insert all" at bottom.

Yes this can be done and it is fairly easy. 1-Open PP, 2-go to Insert,
3-Insert, slides from files, 4-browse to find the other PP. 5-They can
insert just certain slides or they can choose to insert all of them.
Continue the same steps to insert more PP.

Microsoft has a slightly less involved approach on their website.
I have placed the URL below.

Hope this is somewhat helpful.

I thought there was an "append file" feature in PPT, but apparently not.
You will have to open each project and click in the slide area, CTRL A,
CTRL C, and then go to the document that will have everything. Click in
the slide area at the bottom of the last slide, then CTRL P. Make sure
you copy these into the final document in the order you want them
finalized. It could help if before you start this process, to rename all
the files in the order you are going to place them in the final
document. Good luck!

She can copy and paste them in. When it asks her if she wants to
preserve the original formatting she will need to choose yes.

The easiest way that I have found is to open each folder and drop the powerpoint 
part on a flash, then copy/paste.  It is a pain.  The last time, I changed my 
password, had them create their powerpoint in my folder, then changed my password.

Go to the Help feature and key in "hyperlink." The information will
explain how this is done.
