Make your PowerPoint presentations interactive

@Willem Karssenberg thank you for the tip. Mouse Mischief seems to be a great tool. Most of the PowerPoint users have been making use of features like action buttons, triggers and motion path animations to create such interactive slideshows.

Wow! I had no idea about this. I am installing the program now and check it out. Will post my findings here.

Unfortunately, Microsoft Mouse Mischief is only for the PC. Does anyone know of a similar product for the Mac?

Hi Willem. Great information on the Mouse Mischief feature. Thank you for sharing with the community. If you are interested in staying on top of cool PowerPoint features, be sure to follow www.twitter.com/office and the Office [Word, PowerPoint, etc.] page on Facebook, www.facebook.com/office. I am sure the folks over in the Office communities would appreciate your expertise!

How would one go about connecting wired mice to the teacher's computer?

I've bought a 10 ports usb hub with adapter. To that I could add 5 more usb hubs with 4 ports each. That way I can connect up to 25 mice!

My students have their own wireless laptops. Can they just use their own equipment with this program? Do I need to have them download a program to interact with my computer and this Mouse Mischief enabled ppt ? I haven't downloaded the program yet because I really wasn't sure how to adapt it to the wireless PC's my kids have?

Thanks for the info, William. I think I can go with it from here.

@Pat,

It's not possible to connect other computers (wireless or not) to the computer running Mouse Mischief.
The whole idea is that it is meant for countries / situations where there is not enough budget for a computer per pupil.
Mouse Mischief enables more children to work together using just one computer and some extra mice...

Thanks.

Thanks Willem, Great information and feature.
