Creating an Interactive Presentation

Many of us search for ideas for what should be included in a INTERACTIVE LESSON and have asked ourselves many times what makes a lesson an INTERACTIVE LESSON. I found this article on the web about the elements of an Interactive PowerPoint. I feel that we could adapt these ideas to SMART notebook software or Promethean Activstuidio software. Please take a minute to look it over and see if your presentations have INTERACTIVE characteristics. http://www.thejournal.com/articles/14916/

1st post!

This is my first post to my new Blog! Let's see how quickly my learning curve grows.

Let's start with inserting a weblink to a SMART and PROMETHEAN lessons.

SMART offers correlated lesson activities that you can search by grade level and subject area.

Promethean offers correlated lessons that you can search by grade level and subject area. You must create an account before you can download. But they allow you to view the flipcharts with a built in flash player.
