During your presentation, use one or more of these tools to engage your audience.

Animated Stopwatch
This animated stopwatch can be embedded in a PowerPoint presentation. There are other sites that offer similar features, so shop around.

This is a fun element to add to your PowerPoint presentation.
Poll Everywhere
This tool lets you poll participants using smartphones. Use it to plan meeting times and places, or use it during your presentation to take the pulse of your audience. It's a great way to open a presentation by asking participants what they know about your topic. Close the presentation with a poll asking for feedback.
