Presentation+Tips+and+Tools

PowerPoint and Keynote are not the only tools that you can use to create slideshows or presentations. Here are some others....

OpenOffice Open source office suite - free download - presentation software can be saved as PowerPoint.

Google Presentations - Create a free Google Account and gain access to free, online, web-based productivity software. Google Presentations have features similar to PowerPoint. You can even upload PowerPoint, insert PowerPoint into Google Presentations, and embed Google Presentations on various websites.

Padlet - Create a wall and add content (sticky notes, images, links, video...) Great for exit tickets, assessing prior knowledge, reporting back things learned, and COLLABORATING :) The Padlet can be embedded or linked to from another website.

Tackk - This web based tool resembles a blog in that you scroll down to see the content. Add images, text, links and more. This is similar to Padlet except that collaboration isn't as intuitive.

Prezi Non- linear presentation tool. Add content to the canvas (links, text, images) and draw the path. Prezi zooms in and out of your content, which allows the user to be very creative.... but can also make the audience dizzy.
