Conclusion
This project was extremely fun for me. I had quite a few “a-ha” moments. During my research I learned a few facts about animals in Yellowstone. I was a little nervous beginning this project, but I was able to figure out how to create a non-linear Power Point. I learned how to insert links and I learned how to add Clip Art, for the very first time! Power Point is a fun way of teaching something,
and I am sure I will use it in my classroom when I begin teaching.
