Power Point and YouTube

Many students have asked me if it is possible to embed a YouTube video in a MS Power Point presentation. Yes. Check out the link Mr. Rojahn sent me:
http://www.wikihow.com/Embed-YouTube-Flash-Videos-in-Your-PowerPoint-Presentations

Note: it takes careful reading and does not work for every video (there is a way to prevent it from being embedded by the person who uploads it).

Conclusion ideas and rules

Conclusions

Various ways to end an essay:

• Summarize your ideas
• Issue a call to action--encourage the reader to believe and act on your opinion
• Make a prediction
• Conclude with a story that briefly gives an example of your opinion

Things to avoid in concluding:

• Do not introduce new ideas
• Do not restate your thesis in the exact same way
• Do not write "In conclusion"
• Do not tell the reader waht you've told them--"I have proven"
