| We often think of a presentation in the context of a person talking in the front of an audience, often with some type of visual aid to add interest to what is being said. With digital tools available today, the presenter does not have to be talking or even in the same room as the audience. The intended audience can be made much larger by using a number of different web presentation tools. There are many different options available. Here are just a few: |  |
Newsletter-Style Presentations
These tools provide much more flexibility than what can be found in a newsletter or brochure. Pictures, videos, and interactive links can be easily included. These are great resources for students to build Portfolios of Learning for large projects.
- Smore - This free web application has the feel of a newsletter. It is quick to build and is visually very easy to follow.
- Movenote - This is a twisted combination of YouTube and Smore. A video clip can be created to be coordinated with multimedia products. This is a really slick tool.
- Google Sites - Features like tables, images, videos, and google document can be easily embedded in the web pages. Sites provides an easy connection with many other Google Applications for Education (GAFE).
- Weebly - The templates in Weebly are very attractive and easy to build on, especially for novice users. It does not contain as many advanced features as Google Sites, but will make a small website look like it's been built by a pro.
- Blendspace - This application will bundle digital resources into a single, easy-to-use site. It works well for projects for students, as well as a lesson-builder for teachers.
Video-Based Presentation Platforms:
- YouTube - This is a video player only. Videos and custom playlists can be easily shared or embedded into other projects. Students can write, film, edit, and produce their own work and share with the world to see using their school Google accounts.
- Moovly - This is an online video editor with many unique animated visuals. Anyone with experience using iMovie will see a familiar layout. This works very well for short presentations.
Animation Presentation Tools:
These tools work great for those presentations that need to add a little visual appeal to make it more engaging.
