Shona Whyte: High school social studies teacher Spiro Bolos guest blogs on Richard Byrnes' Free Technology for Teachers website on combining low-text Powerpoint slides with Voicethread or Google Apps comment options to make lectures less "one-way" by integrating "student voices."
In the foreign language classroom, this technique could be employed to improve interaction around student-created presentations also. Delete the scoop?

John Goldsmith says:
"QUIZSLIDES allows users to publish quizzes and exams online. Notice I said “publish”. The actual quiz is created with Powerpoint. The user creates a series of slides containing a question and 4 possible answers, lettered for “A” to “D”. Because it’s Powerpoint, users can include pictures, graphics, charts, maps or any other graphic images (not sure about sound files or video).
When completed, the slides are uploaded to the QUIZSLIDES web site and transformed into a quiz. Part of that process involves the user scrolling through each slide and identifying the correct answer to each question.
When completed, QUIZSLIDES generates a self marking quiz plus a web link/embed code so the quiz can be linked/embedded in a web page. As an example, I created a simple quiz involving the flags of European countries. It took more time to find the flag images then it did to create the quiz, the app is that easy to use."

Here he focuses on the 20x20 Pecha Kucha format (20 slides, 20 seconds per slide), with some good advice on how to prepare and present such talks.

Grammar Gamble for language geeks, no doubt intended for native speakers, it can provide reading/parsing practice for advanced ESL learners - in Twins, for example, decide whether the highlighted word is a noun or a verb, and indicate your confidence in your decision using a slider.
