What software should I use to create a PSA?

You have several choices--

• PowerPoint or Google Docs Presentation works fine for visuals, but if you want sound also, try using:
• Windows PhotoStory  OR
• Windows Moviemaker  (great for combining still images, video footage, sound, and music
• Use a Mac at home?  iMovie is the best choice.
