3 Presentation Tools Teachers Are Now Using - Edudemic

Presentations are more than just Powerpoint or Keynote. While those presentation tools will get the presentation-making job done, there are definitely better options out there.

Like infographics and data visualization? Visual.ly is the world's largest community of infographics and data visualization. Come explore, share, and create.

Prezi is a cloud based presentation software that opens up a new world between whiteboards and slides. The zoomable canvas makes it fun to explore ideas and the connections between them. The result: visually captivating presentations that lead your audience down a path of discovery.

This is what I was talking about at the Workshop... For those of you with a more creative streak - You can create some amazing presentations on this software - and the beauty is, it's all cloud-based so you don't need to download anything.

Let me know if you would like me to deliver a presentation on how to use it at the next Workshop and I'll pop over.
