Microsoft Mouse Mischief Means Multiple Munchkins' Minds can Mingle in Math Class

Microsoft has created a free plugin for Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 and 2010 called Mouse Mischief. It allows multiple mouse cursors in PowerPoints, so you can give several students their own mouse and have them engaged with your presentation. Watch the demonstration (warning: like most MS marketing videos, it's a bit cheesy) to see how students can answer questions and interact with slideshows in your lessons. If your district (or your personal laptop) has a newer version of PowerPoint, you will surely want to try this freebie out. http://www.microsoft.com/multipoint/mouse-mischief/
