The study results indicated that, in general, using interactive whiteboards was associated with a 16 percentile point gain in student achievement. This means that we can expect a student at the 50th percentile in a classroom without the technology to increase to the 66th percentile in a classroom using whiteboards.

You can insert sound in prezis in FLV flash video or SWF flash format.  Why do you need to insert sound in video format to prezis? Since Prezi doesn't currently have direct sound file support, you should convert sound files to FLV or SWF format to upload in Prezi. Please read the step-by-step description on how to do this, and when to choose which file format.

Mission US is a multimedia project featuring free interactive adventure games set in different eras of U.S. history. The first game, Mission 1: "For Crown or Colony?," puts the player in the shoes of Nat Wheeler, a 14-year-old printer's apprentice in 1770 Boston. As Nat navigates the city and completes tasks, he encounters a spectrum of people living and working there when tensions mount before the Boston Massacre. Ultimately, the player determines Nat's fate by deciding where his loyalties lie.
