There are many presentation tools that I experimented with. Some presentation tools I could not use because my school was not listed or I need to have adminstrative assistance. This was frustrating because they seemed like great tools (such as Globster).
The first one was Prezi. Prezi was fairly easy to use and I thought of many applications to use for my students. However, when I watch and click the prezi presentation after its created, I felt a little bit confused and that could be a problem with my students. It seems a bit limited in that it can be confusing with the other tools that students are used to using.
I tried Empressr next and I thought it was cool how you could add in graphs and their data. It also allows you to add in powerpoint presentations. This can be both a benefit and not because students can use powerpoint with this tool but then I need to have time to teach them about powerpoint. This program also allows the presentation to be public or private which is nice to keep a presentation just for students and allow them access to change and edit.
If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know! I tried others websites but some said they were no longer in use!
It is good that Empressr allows the students to maintain their presentations private. It gives teachers the peace of mind in allowing students to use online resources like this one.
