    This is a great way to teach the Dewey Decimal System! May I use it with my Year 4 students?

    You are most welocme to download it and use it.
    I have since changed most of the mouse-click actions in Custom Animation so that they come in ’after previous, very fast’, and this certainly helps to keep the students’ eyes on the screen!! Feel free to change it if you think it is too slow.

    I liked this presentation. It is simple like your title states, but communicates the important information.
