Presentation Tools

This week I explored lots of free presentation tools.  Below I have written about some that I would like to explore further...

Blendspace

• Created for teachers
• Allows teachers to share resources from the internet
• Allows teachers to create quizzes to assess student learning
• Tracks student progress and adapts to student needs as they go

Prezi (the only one I have used in the past)

• Easy to use
• Create presentations with video, pictures, and text
• Cloud-based
• Has a sharing feature that allows multiple people to work on the project together

Pixton

• Allows you to create comics
• Has a sharing feature
• Has grading and assessment tools
• You can record a voice over to enhance the presentation

edu.buncee

• Has a classroom organization tool to allow teachers to manage students and track data
• You can drag and drop media
• Cloud-based
• Allows users to download PDFs
• Create and scan QR codes to access

As a future librarian, I am excited to start building a database of resources like the ones above.  Out of the presentation tools that I explored, I have only used Prezi.  However, there seems to be some great options that I would love to try throughout the school year this year.
