Part of every teaching dilemma or more specifically part of the planning process when creating a lesson is finding ways to attract (
buzzword: hook / engage) students into what knowledge or skills you are trying to share with them. Being an avid user of
Microsoft Power Point for many lessons I had noticed that students were becoming bored or uninterested in Power Point presentations. Too much is too much. Not only were my students becoming unusually rowdy but they had a look on their faces that suggested "Again? Give us a break from Power Point." Searching for alternatives I remembered attending a meeting about technology in the classroom and jointing down a brief note on a new presentation tool called
PowToon.
PowToon yells out to Teachers and enthusiastically says - "Flip your classroom, inspire, engage and delight your students."
