Fed up with imparting/seeing always the same kind? Evolve!

Microsoft is preparing a tool which can solve problems and enhance the educational experience; it is about Microsoft Office Mix, a tool which lets interact with your presentations in PowerPoint.

We all know that Office is the greatest suite used in education, so Microsoft wants to launch a new tool called Microsoft Office Mix, which can allow teachers to transform PowerPoint lessons or themes in interactive lessons.

The aim is that the teacher can distribute and interact with your presentations with the rest of the students. The teacher would go through a link presentation to the class through the cloud and all the changes that take place while he presents, could be observed and retained on the slides of all students.

Of course it is something very simple that can greatly facilitate the task of teaching and presentations at meetings, making them more dynamic and educational than the typical way of taking notes at full speed.

The notice that have facilitated says: “MIX allows you to turn your PowerPoints into interactive online lessons or presentations. We install an add-in that gives you the ability to record audio, video, and handwriting, and insert interactive elements like quizzes and CK12 exercises. There’s even a screen capture tool so you can record anything on your PC.
Once your presentation is ready just click “Create MIX.” We work our magic to mix in xml for an interactive document complete with analytics, and place it in the cloud. From there, just share the link, and your students can watch it on just about any device with a web browser. You can then check student progress online and see who watched the presentation, and how they did on your quizzes.”

For now you can only access Office Mix by invitation or waiting a waiting list, if you inscribe page I leave here, hopefully soon launch officially the tool and having a great response from teachers.

What do you hope…. Run and tell your teacher!
