    It was so helpful especially for me as a student because I learned a lot on this which is I can definitely used during our class presentation. It help us to motivate to do more when it comes to creativity and also it was so fun to know that PowerPoint is not just a slide we can create a wonderful and creative presentation throughout this course.
