Microsoft Powerpoint is used quite extensively in the schools to expose students to interesting and fun ways to use technology in their classrooms. In addition to creating attractive and interesting linear presentations, you can teach students to set up presentations in a non-linear fashion.

This is a very successful unit that has motivated some of my students that don't care too much for school.
Rubric: This is a rubric available in Microsoft Word that you can customize for your particular project. This particular rubric is for a quotes unit that my 8th graders put together. It is by far one of their favorite units. They enjoy reading a variety of quotes and finding images to compliment the words. They then use sound to finalize their presentations.
