Or alternatively.

PowerPoint isn’t the only software for putting presentations on screen. Alternatives include.

Prezi

Already gaining popularity with UK teachers, this cloud-based system allows you to create dynamic presentations. Pictures, text and other information can be laid out as a mind-map, or in any way or size you like, and there is a real “wow-factor” as the camera flies between the information. Free licences available for teachers.

Impress

The OpenOffice equivalent to Microsoft’s PowerPoint (or Apple’s Keynote) - so it is free and open source. It can read Microsoft PowerPoints, and export slides as PDFs and presentations as Adobe Flash files.

Googledocs Presentations

Googledocs offers a suite of cloud-based work programmes, including one that makes presentations. Although simpler than PowerPoint, it is free, and multiple users can edit a single presentation or document at the same time on different computers - handy for collaborative classroom work.
