It’s been awhile since I have ventured out into the world of “presentation technology”. I like many of you am sure you spent most of your educational career using PowerPoint or notes from apple. I recently entered into a graduate program. One of the requirements is to have a course project represented in a presentation.
I took some time to check out different presentation methods and I have viewed them.
Googledocs: I find it very easy to navigate. It works pretty much like PowerPoint. The great addition to googledocs is that you can load your presentation to your account and make it very excisable.
Zoho Show 2.0: Again this was easy to navigate. It works like PowerPoint as well, but has a great almost “hip” vibe to it. It’s free, you just have to sign up for a user name and that’s about it.
Voice Thread: This is a site that has ideas that I have never heard of. It was a bit hard to navigate the site, and I couldn’t really find any useful tutorials. The concept is great you can upload pictures and add voice recordings. I would definitely have my students use these in the classroom, but for my graduate project I think it lacks the ability to give the depth to my course project.
I really would like to explore these presentation tools further. For my graduate class I am going to choose googledocs. It is set up similar to PowerPoint which I am familiar with, but being able to load it for everyone to see very easily is very appealing.
