Powerpoint Games

If you haven't seen them before, with a little hyperlinking we're got ourselves a bit of jeopardy in powerpoint form.  Finally, a reasonable use for PP!  =)  If you didn't know by now, PP is the bane of my existence, waaaaaaay too many boring pp's in freshman chemistry. alas

K, here is an example of what you can expect for some of our review sessions to come.  At the very least you should see how well you can do on your own:

You may run into an issue with the hyperlinks showing when you've clicked on them or not after viewing a question.  Oh well, quizzing yourself more than once isn't a bad thing.  =)

Not sure if that phrase is copyrighted or not, but oh well.  Just wanted to keep you up to date on my feed.  Follow me at KMscienceguy.  I'll be doing my best to tweet the fun stuff I'm learning and teaching.  I may be using this for reminders as well at some point.  Please let me know what you want from my feed. 
Twitter has a ton of users out there who are just like us, always learning more about science and sharing sweet links, so yeah, this has been a total learning experience for me because I used to think that twitter was nothing more than mundane stream of consciousness'.  Oh no, I'm starting to see some serious possibilities for what we can do as a class with this - sharing links, tweeting study q's etc., i mean this could be a great way for sharing extra credit with those of you who want that extra little push eh?

Oh well, enjoy
