This program would be better for group projects than Windows powerpoint. It has fewer bells and whistles so students could concentrate on content more that background and other extras. Also since it is created all at the same time and in the same template there is not problems putting each student's part into the whole.
Any project that can be done in powerpoint can be done collaboratively using this program. I have done a class book with kindergarten and first using MSWord and a starting template. Google docs would work just as well and has the added benefit of being available to family and friends just by giving them the link. Grandparents living far away would love it.
The information in Wikipedia was about the same as the other sources I found. Wikipedia is a good general reference, especially for factual material, e.g. country or state background information or biography of an historical person. The photo in the Wikipedia entry is in the Library of Congress collection of images.
