There are 32 templates in all, some designed for Word and some for Excel. Take a look and see if any could help make you a more efficient teacher.

This little program would be a great way to create test prep lessons that aren't excruciatingly boring for the teacher and students. It could be used with pre-readers as a way to learn colors, numbers or letters. Almost any topic that forces students to recall facts can be practiced, in a whole class setting. As well, in a lecture setting, check-in questions could be throughout the presentation to make sure that the class is following along with the teacher. If the majority of the students aren't correct, it may mean you need to take some more time with that section of the content.
There is a but coming: The add-in is a free download but there are technology costs involved. USB hubs are needed along with a class set of wireless mouses. There are many, many grants out there that allow for this type of expenditure or, it may just be in your department's or school's budget. Check out the add-in, see if it would be useful for your classroom and/or school and then figure out how to pay for the hardware.
Happy clicking!
