Thing 13: Presentations

Deck slideshows is easy and quick, but I don't know where you could use it. It would need to be for 1-on-1 or projected on a wireless network. Not exactly what the promo suggested. Also, there are just a few presentation designs that are free. I get quite frustrated when programs or apps tease you and try to almost blackmail a user into purchasing features that are not free.

Skip Deck and use Haiku Deck. Easier to add pictures, make backgrounds, add text. A great bonus is that you can type in a word and the app will find a copyright free picture(s) that meet your criteria. Then you can share the presentation multiple ways.

Lensoo - fantastic. A mini lecture with diagrams, pictures, text, colors, backgrounds. Not as many options in each category as I would like, but with the option to record/animate actions and to record description, it can be used by teachers to set up stations or mini-lessons and for students to show what they know. I wish my school had iPads!
