This site has many tutorials if you wish to learn more about PowerPoint. You don't have to know how to use it to encourage your students to use it for presentations. Here is another rubric. Jean Marston worked extensively on a rubric she used with the sophomores. I'm sure she would share and then we could all hold students to the same standards.
