Yesterday, I wrote about the Microsoft SDK for Mouse Multipoint. This product allows developers to create applications where more than one user will be able to access the computer screen using a mouse; i.e., multiple mouse operations will go on simultaneously. Now Microsoft has release a beta version of Mischief, to be used with Powerpoint to make it interactive.
Here are the download steps to follow.
Microsoft is on tap to release Mischief at the end of 2010. The tool will help teachers build interactive Powerpoint slides. Students will be able to work with the presentation using a common USB mouse.
How does Mischief Work?
Take a simple question/answer quiz. When the teacher opens a Mouse Mischief enabled presentation, students in the classroom can answer each question by clicking it with their uniquely designed mouse cursor. Once the students have selected their answers, the teacher can display the correct answer. The program gives teachers the option to have their student participate individually or as part of a team. Classroom control is one benefit, plus the students will feel more engaged in their schooling.
