I have found that PowerPoint presentations in the classroom have really spiced up my teaching. Currently our classrooms have a dukane in the ceiling that allows the teacher to present materials through the teacher's PC. To be honest, the students are already tiring of my PowerPoints and are drifting. Thank you for that Nintendo. My students have the attention span of a Labrador.
If you are in the same boat as I am you might want to try PREZI. This is a presentation tool that will spark up your classroom presentations. The program takes some practice to get the hang of. But, if you stick with it you can make some fantastic shows. It is like PowerPoint meets the creative software of a Mac. Sorry PC users this will not take the place of a quality Mac machine but it will help you add some flavor to you drab presentations.
The Basics
You can upload pictures in to a presentation and add text. Then you create a flow to your presentation. I quickly sat down and created or started a show about my son. I think that PREZI will be the cheese that I can dangle in front of my students to get them to Spring Break.
