James, I would like to recommend the free ICM-Browser http://www.molsoft.com/icm_browser.html . It is widely used for teaching structural biology and it is easy to make fun and interesting fully interactive 3D slides and animations of protein structures. The students can view the fully interactive 3D files in the browser, PowerPoint or on the web using ActiveICM http://www.molsoft.com/activeicm.html The files can also be viewed on the *iPad**/iPhone* using iMolview http://www.molsoft.com/iMolview.html We will be happy to send you some examples if you would like them.
