A new presentation tool
Everyone has used PowerPoint & I have challenged many of my students to come up with something new. SlideShare and SlideRocket were online presentation applications that basically just mirrored PowerPoint with a couple bells and whistles.
My daughter came across Prezi in her DECA class in high school. I have to say that I am impressed. There is the online application, but for a cost, you can also download a free standing version. Check it out and let me know what you think.
I saw a former student work on a presentation through Prezi. I wasn't quite sure what to think at first because I didn't understand the random windows behind in the background. However, after seeing her final version...I figured it out. Pretty cool - different, that's for sure. And after seeing 15 powerpoint presentations in a row...different can be refreshing!
