   Examining the partnership between medical alert dogs and their human companions will highlight the importance of considering the social, emotional, and psychological aspects of living with a chronic condition, promoting a patient-centered approach to healthcare.
4. Explore Ethical Considerations:
   The training and deployment of medical alert dogs will introduce students to the ethical considerations surrounding animal-assisted interventions, encouraging critical thinking and responsible decision-making.
5. Encourage Interdisciplinary Collaboration:
   Showcasing the collaborative efforts between healthcare professionals, animal trainers, and researchers in the development of medical alert dog programs will inspire students to embrace the value of teamwork and communication across different fields.

Thank you for your support of my business, I truly appreciate it!!

This is a website design lesson wrapped around Simple Machines. I wanted my students to get the feel of WEB DESIGN without having to pay hosting fees...so, we used PowerPoint. I went through the process of setting up a PP as the website. We talk about links, images, web directory, etc. but we did it for FREE in PowerPoint. Once you activate the slideshow, it "feels" like a website. The kids loved it!

It is written for Simple Machines, but it could easily be rewritten for any topic in any class!

The directions for PowerPoint are on pages 3-4.

Thank you for your interest in my product!!
