2.  Why would you NOT use PowerPoint?
 What could possibly be better than PowerPoint?
 How to use this new information

3.  With all of the free resources available, where do
you start?
 Don’t worry about that…just start somewhere!
 Pick a website or two, and explore

4.  Prezi
 www.prezi.com
 A great way to jazz up your presentation!
 Kids will love the zoom feature!!!

10.  Building a presentation on Prezi is a lot easier than
it looks
 Watch the instructional videos, and use some of
your old PowerPoint presentations to get started

11.  The best way I have found to use Prezi (in the
beginning)
 You don’t have to make your own content to start,
just import one of your old PowerPoints!
 Play around inside the Prezi software to make it
look cool
 There is a video called “Prezify Your PowerPoint”

12.  Empressr
 www.empressr.com
 View this cool Empressr tutorial

16.  Google
 Yahoo
 PhotoBucket
 Flickr
 Or use your built-in webcam to take a picture and
insert directly into your presentation

22.  Zohoshow
 http://www.zoho.com/show/

27.  Have others on other computers collaborate on
your presentation from anywhere with Internet
access
 Import content from PowerPoint and other
presentation platforms
 A “Master Slide” makes it possible to choose a
format that works for every slide (I spend a lot of
time adjusting every PPT slide)

28.  Photo Peach
 www.photopeach.com
 Probably the easiest to use of all of the sites I’ve
talked about today

31.  Facebook
 Picassa
 Your computer

35.  My Caribbean Spring Break Adventure
 http://photopeach.com/album/18nj2nv
 Notice the “Ken Burns Effect”, as the program
zooms in and zooms out on each photo as it shows

36.  Make a “screen shot” of each of your PowerPoint
slides
 “Ctrl” & “Prt Scr”, then paste into Paint, then save
the picture
 Insert the pictures into PhotoPeach
 Your PowerPoint will play with the press of a
button…and include background music!
