=PowerPoint=

[|PowerPoint Reform] - Joyce Valenza [|PowerPointlessness]- by Jamie McKenzie at From Now On -[|adaptation] for presentation to kids

[|PowerPoint - Extreme Makover] a 20 minute video, very clear, somewhat dry, great for teachers. Applicable to Interactive Whiteboards. [|PowerPoint Is Evil] - good article in //Wired Magazine// [|Stop Your Presentation Before It Kills Again]- the captioned picture is priceless.

=Google presentation= Benefits: Multiple students can work on the same document at the same time from different computers. You can upload backgrounds from PowerPoint. With enough technical expertise, you can have the other students in the class, contribute as the author speaks.

Negatives: Slow to load on our network. Have the teacher added as a member so they can have all the presentations in their profile.
