Shooting Star Effect in Powerpoint and View Pure

We've been playing around with some advanced features in PowerPoint in the 7th and 8th grade classes using a video tutorial on youtube. Before I post the link, I also wanted to tell you about a great tool that allows you to watch youtube videos without all of the ads and sidebar materials - viewpure.com. You simply copy the video URL (web address) and paste it in at viewpure.com. You will then get a new viewpure URL, which you can use to watch the video in it's "pure" form.
