This semester I'm taking a course called Preparing Instructional Media. I would like to become more efficient in working with various tech tools to present material in an engaging way. We began with a powerpoint presentation to introduce ourselves. I had some fun with it, but honestly, PowerPoint is not my favorite tool in the techie shed. Most people use it as a teaching aid - to remember what they want to present. I tried creating a stand-alone (no presenter needed) tool for my US history students to learn the Constitution, but found the program slow to work with, bulky, and in a word, joyless. I wanted to create a game of sorts, a true/false quiz with additional information, but it was just boring. More guessing and reading, not truly interactive at all.
So, I am searching the web for a magic (free) tool through which I can create a truly interactive fun learning "game" that my students will want to use to study their history.
