Pondering using tools

Well, I've spent an hour trying to get a PowerPoint a student and I made this week as a way to work on his reading fluency. The key is hearing him read and that part is not working. Now Slideshare is temporarily not coming up. I think all these new digital tools are cool - but, this learning curve is hard to see around. Trying to use tools in school is frustrating because access to computers is limited and trying to get to things that aren't blocked or having the updated version of whatever player is often not a possibility.
