It takes a free [<20 people] download and you can add open or closed questions. During the actual presentation you ask your students to react by mobile phone using TXT, [mobile] Internet or Twitter. Reactions come in real time [but can be filtered] and are immediately shown on the screen.

I like to use PowerPoint as a base then give it a more multimedia feel by putting it in Photostory. Photostory creates a .wmv file which i can convert and put the presentation on an iPod or other portable device.<br />

While I applaud your efforts to help 7th graders and others make better Powerpoint slides, I suggest you also read Edward Tufte's essay "The Cognitive Style of Powerpoint".

I find that most students think "presentation" and "PowerPoint" are the same thing at this point. They rarely consider that THEY are the presentations and need to be reminded to do more than just read their slides to the already literate audience. To help with this I have all students work in groups of 4 to make slide shows about the same topic (the histpry of computer). They then present their shows to their peers who are evaluating their performance and accuracy using online surveys: <a href="http://freeonlinesurveys.com/rendersurvey.asp?sid=u6nulw34aagixg3385391">http://freeonlinesurveys.com/rendersurvey.asp?sid=u6nulw34aagixg3385391</a><br />
