I was reading through some of my bookmarked blogs on delicious to see if they were worth keeping and stumbled upno this post:
"On April 30, 2010, Microsoft shared with the world a FREE tool where teachers can create a multi-media presentation via PowerPoint and the students can NOW participate DURING the presentation! Each student can use a mouse, answer questions, and the teacher can see how each student answered. No more spending thousands of dollars on interactive programs and clickers. Just download the FREE Mouse Mischief from Microsoft and create! Microsoft does have sample lesson plans to get people started on how to use the “Multiple Mouse” option." from Krista http://coolschoolwebsites.com/ (CSW)

On the subject of free Microsoft software. I have recently discovered Kodu. It is specifically designed for kids wanting to create their own games. It is very visual and looks a lot of fun I will be trying this out with my Boys in School group at Coatesville and my lunchtime computer club at Forrest Hill School. Kodu is designed to work with the xbox controller however you can download to your PC and use keyboard controls.
