Interactive Excel
Excel is not only for
creating spreadsheets – it can be used as an
interactive tool! Learn how easy it is to
have students create unique presentations to
demonstrate what they have learned. Add
pop-ups and hyperlinks that share important
bits of information. This is a great
approach for including all kinds of digital
references in a project.

Creating
Audible Stories
Learn how to record
and edit audio with software already on our
computers. Add music, fade sounds and
create other special effects. These
recordings can be shared online or burnt
onto CDs. Consider students creating
oral history projects, poetry readings, or
interviews that could be play backed during
class.

Creative
Presentations w/ PowerPoint
PowerPoint
presentations don't always need to be a
sequential series of slides. Projects
like "virtual museums" let students create
nonlinear presentations which allow viewers
to jump around in the presentation.
Other presentation formats, such as
"Jeopardy", let students review material for
a test using a similar method.
Discover the secrets of nonlinear PowerPoint
in this session.
