Microsoft has just released a new add-in for the PowerPoint program which allows student to play a more active role in learning. Think of it as a convenient, and much cheaper, way to have student response systems in your classroom. At my school we do not have student response systems available however, purchasing 25 wireless mice....no problem. We could even have a set to check out in the library so that more could use the resource!!!
Here is how it works. Once teachers download the free add-in they can create activities such as questions, polls, and drawing activities that all students will be engaged in through a wireless mouse. Students can even work in teams to answer questions!!! Think about the fun games you could play with that!
BONUS: They are currently having a contest to give away a free class set!!!
