Do you have Microsoft’s PowerPoint and wonder what to do with it? PowerPoint provides a vast array of activities that can benefit a wide variety of students. You can use pre-made activities to emphasize a point or a popular game format to reinforce learning. You can easily create or use pre-made clickable switch activities, and talking books. Take a look at the fun, motivating lessons that are just a download away.
