Non-Linear PowerPoint

Non-linear PowerPoints are a great tool for use in the classroom. These types of power points can be used as a different aid in teaching a specific lesson or as a fun game to assess content knowledge. I have seen these types of PowerPoints used in the classroom before as a Jeopardy type game. The children absolutely love to play, and enjoy the different pace of learning a lesson in this way. They also enjoy creating their own game when given a template to use to input the questions and answers. Students see this type of power point as more of a game than an assignment or lesson. I found making a non linear power point very fun and somewhat easy. It is great to be able to completely create your own power point with no real specific guide lines. The only part about making one that I found to be a little tricky is figuring out all of the different buttons/hyper links and what slide they needed to link to. It definitely takes some time to create an effective lesson and power point.
