The document discusses exploring the power of familiar tools like Microsoft PowerPoint and Adobe Reader for creating educational content. It provides examples of how these programs can be used to add images, audio, video, and animations. The document suggests PowerPoint and Adobe Reader are often overlooked but can be used to create engaging content like example presentations, drawings, and "ebooks" without a large learning curve. It acknowledges that fully covering the topic could require multiple sessions and leaves additional ideas like using Sway or creating narrated talks or posters for future discussions.
