TESTIMONIALS:  I recently completed a certification course at my local community college to become state certified as a Fire Inspector.  My instructor chose PowerPoint technology to instruct all of his classes.  This was very benificial to me, especially since I am a visual learner.  He chose to download photographs of various fire violations that he has found in buildings during his inspection career so that the students could see first hand what a typical violation looks like.  The instructor also chose to include the syllabus and readings on the PowerPoint presentations giving the students the opportunity to take notes on the topics being discussed. -Chris Lyons
