Looking to Diversify - Presentation Software

Posted by teachingenglishmadeeasy · November 30, 2009 · 3 replies

Hi all,

As of right now, I am proficient in PowerPoint and Prezi. My question to you is: "Is there other presenting software out there that isn't like PowerPoint or Prezi?" I like to have variety in the classroom and in my presentations. When I first showed my uni. students Prezi, they freaked out! It was great!

you could use Flash but I think it might take more time to put something together. However with Flash you'd probably have more options.

Right. I am currently on their message boards lobbying for a few more things for them to add to their software like the ability to control fonts, colors, and backgrounds.

Flash by itself, though, would be too long and cumbersome for me to learn. I'd much rather stick to what is currently available.

I use Raptivity Presenter and YawnBuster. Fantastic tools. You may want to try them - I use them in my classroom sessions all the time.
