Thing #13 - 23 Things

I couldn't connect to Thumbstacksto and I have alread posted using Slideshare so I decided to play with Zoho Show. I spent some time just creating sample slides and playing with the tools. The site works well and is fairly easy to use and has a lot of nice features. I plan to check it out more and see if students can use it to work at home and then transfer it into PowerPoint at school. I need to see which features will transfer well, it could be a nice tool for students that don't have PowerPoint and don't want to download Open Office. I'm considering checking out the features in Zoho and other programs like Gooogle docs for the group projects and I may try this next semester with our project design classes.

For this lesson I uploaded part of my PowerPoint lesson on Internet Safety. My links came in well and most of my plain next, obviously my animations and transitions didn't come in so well. I wouldn't really be able to upload my PowerPoints with videos and other copyrighted materials though. If we were using white boards to capture lessons I could see some of these online presentation tools being very helpful for sharing and posting class activities. These online presentation tools have most of what the students need and use and could be a good alternative to PowerPoint.
