Powerpoint replacement or enhancement
1. Graphing papers
* storyboard creation
2. Pecha Kucha & Ignite
* 20 slides, 5 seconds for each slide
* can be used to challenge students to give presentations that create a dynamic run-through on a theme
* websites provide some examples
* at the events Ignite presenters share their personal and professional passions, using 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds for a total of just five minutes
3. Google slides
* MS Powerpoint can be imported into Google Slides which allow embedding
* only downside is losing transitions
4. Sliderocket
* great templates
* classy presentation show
* only need gmail ID
* when searching for images, automatically credit them for you (when cursor hovers over image during slide show)
5. Mixbook
* Scrapbooking - some people make scrapbook with Powerpoint. Painful process!
* Free to use
* can collaborate as a class
* can print and store a copy in the classroom
* students tend to love the artistic design opportunity if use for a project and presentation
6. Image Generator
* unsophisticated way to have photoshopped effects
7. Tagxedo
* the generator makes an image through positive and negative space use
8. Prezi
* I have found this prezi by a blogger who is interested in exploring using prezi to teach vacabulary.
