I chose Microsoft Mouse Mischief because it is interactive. It allows the teacher and students to interact with the lesson and eachother and makes learning fun and easy. There is something for teacher and student. It is a program that allows teachers to make PowerPoints interactive by asking question and with wireless mouses students select answers. It also shows the teacher which students or groups of students answered correctly or incorrectly. My standard is 6.1, which states that candidates intergrate instructional technology to facilitate learning in the classroom to supplement instructional strategies, to design instructional materials, and to enhance hands-on expierences and problem solving. I believe that this program is great for this standard. It is hands-on, interactive, uses technology, and ask the students for problem solving and quick thinking. The URL above will take you to Microsoft Mouse Mischief where you can download mouse mischief for free, it is compatable with Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 or 2010. The link I am listing below will also take you to the Microsoft website above for mouse mischief but this website has a video that shows you a little about mouse mischief. http://shellyterrell.com/2010/05/21/a-new-way-to-make-powerpoints-interactive/

Prezi is a cloud-based presentation software that opens up a new world between whiteboards and slides. The zoomable canvas makes it fun to explore ideas and the connections between them. The result: visually captivating presentations that lead your audience down a path of discovery. Prezi puts a new spin on the word "powerpoint". You can use different themes, choose the path you want your presentation to follow, it's more creative then a normal powerpoint slide and it is free. Users are making technology available to them when they use prezi because it is created online, so internet access is all that is needed in order to edit or present the prezi. This works especially well for those who do not have the microsoft powerpoint program.

Powerpoint ideas

I found that this website could be quite beneficial for Students of all ages; especially those who struggle with technology. The site offers tons of tools to help students technologically in all subjects and points of emphasis in education. For example, there are tools for creating powerpoints, writing papers, and making music just to name a few. I am excited to show my classroom students this helpful tool!
