Post Update Sunday April 17th 2011
I know that a lot of people read this post and appreciate the fact that powerpoint can be made interactive in this way. I sometimes get enquiries about the difficulties people have trying to make this work in newer versions of powerpoint (this was originally created with ppt 2002).
For a newer version of this macro plus helpful tips on how to overcome some of the problems others have had with powerpoint 2007 and beyond, go to Joe Dale's blog at this post.
I am posting this because quite a few people on the Yahoo Mfl forum have been asking for help with this. I know Joe Dale has posted on this elsewhere on his blog and the powerpoint files here are not my own work, go grateful thanks to those unsung heroes who came up with this! If you are looking for some interactivity with Powerpoint these are a great resource. The powerpoint file below provides you with some ready made actvities to use or adapt and the video shows you how to use this ppt to make a template of your own to produce your own resources. If you find this useful, let me know! Feedback always encourages one to produce more!
