Ten Ways to Get Beyond PowerPoint with a Classroom Projector

Some ideas from other educators:

"I teach chemistry and we often collect class data and need to average and graph the data instantly. I will have the kids come up to my system, type in their numbers, into Excel, and then have a few kids run through the steps to make the graph. Its great to discuss the results instantly - often in the same class period as when they ran the lab!"

"Display a timer for the tasks I set for my pupils and I find that this can really focus a class." http://people.uncw.edu/ertzbergerj/ppt_timers.html
