Children of the digital generation craves excitement. Sadly as a teacher you have to compete with their interest in their animated TV shows, flash games, etc. Children these days need not only interest catching lessons, but visually appealing interactive lessons. So if you are looking for an engaging way to present your lessons to your students try the following:
Prezi - "a web-based presentation application and storytelling tool that uses a single canvas instead of traditional slides. Text, images, videos and other presentation objects are placed on the infinite canvas and grouped together in frames. The canvas allows users to create non-linear presentations, where users can zoom in and out of a visual map. A path through different objects and frames can be defined, representing the order of the information to be presented. The presentation can be developed in a browser window, then downloaded so that an Internet connection is not needed when showing the presentation. Prezi uses the freemium model. Customers who use the free Prezi Public license must publish their work on the Prezi site. Customers who pay for a Prezi Enjoy or Prezi Pro license can create and share private Prezis. Prezi also offers a special education license for students and educators". ~Wikipedia ~
