Reflections on Illuminated Text

I really enjoyed the process of making an illuminated text.  I had never worked with PowerPoint so the whole process was new to me.  There were so many things that I didn't realize you could do to make it fun, like the animations and picking the music.  
It was a little overwhelming at first.  I didn't like working with the text boxes because I just couldn't get them to work right.
I think an illuminated text might be really useful in a math lesson, especially for younger students.  You could make illustrations fly in and out and make everything seem to come to life.
