Updates: Powerpoint Jeopardy!, Opera 9

Hello again!

More Powerpoint Games.

I'm preparing a Powerpoint game (which we discussed in Episode 10) about Indiana University to use with our Partners in Education program, so I thought I'd share some related resources that I found:

Powerpoint Jeopardy Games

A great selection of K-12 Jeopardy games from some Kentucky teachers.

Powerpoint Activities

Has links to a Hollywood Squares and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire templates too. The Millionaire one is very cool, but I wish it came with instructions.

Opera 9 Problem fixed.
In a previous entry here, I mentioned I was having problems with YouTube and Google Video working on Opera on my MacBook Pro. Well, the sites seem to use Flash to present their videos. It turns out that you need to delete a file called Flash Plugin Enabler.plugin from the HD/Library/Internet Plugins/ folder. Then restart
Opera and you've got videos!

Stay tuned for Episode 12!

Hey Chris,
I was looking for ideas for using Podcasting with middle school students and in searching the net came upon your blog. As I read through past posts, I found one which linked my website! (http://teach.fcps.net/trt10/powerpoint.htm) What a fun surprise!

Thanks for all the great information! Keep up the good work.
