Hey Jazzy

PowerPoint is now so last decade.

If you have a Mac, an iPad and a projector (or HD TV) a good option for you might be pulling up content in iBooks... a search in iTunes will take a while for PPL, but there is some great stuff out there now for EASA CPL & ATPL... for example PadPilot for ATPL, which is easy to find, and it will not take much to edit in iBooks Author to match the CASA syllabus ... just remember what you produce in iBooks Author is in the public domain.

You then take this content and set up your classroom with a Mac, a projector or HD TV, iPads and a wifi network. Link it together using something like the Splashtop 2 App. Plus you can deliver remotely to anyone with a decent 3G connection and an iPad.

The whole thing will be easier to set-up than building a half decent PowerPoint presentation, but will be light years ahead as a learning tool.

Unfortunately there are currently no PC based equivalents... the sweetness of this set-up is worth the hassles of dealing with Apple. And everyday there is more and more content in the iBook store.
