Slideshare

It’s all well and good putting together a presentation or other professional content, but how do you reach the greatest audience once it is created? Furthermore, from a teacher’s perspective, how do you ensure content that you present in class is available for review and any absent students?

Luckily, SlideShare comes to your aid.

SlideShare began with a simple goal: To share knowledge online. Since then, SlideShare has grown to become the world’s largest community for sharing  presentations, infographics, documents, videos, PDFs, and webinars. In  2013, the site averaged 60 million unique visitors a month and 215 million page views. SlideShare is among the top 120 most-visited websites in the world.Need further convincing?

Prezzi

Leave a comment

For teachers (and students) that have seen way too many static powerpoint presentations Prezi offers a fresh way of conveying the information. In a nutshell, Prezi is a flash-based presentation system that allows you to create incredibly dynamic presentations. Presentations where you can zoom in and out across a large area (no slides), create motion paths to lead you through a story, embed images and video and do things that previously needed a pretty competent flash developer and a whole chunk of time to do. It challenges traditional slide-based presentation software. And it is very, very easy to learn and use.

To find out more about Prezi and how it works take some time to go through these beginner’s tutorials.
