Presentation Programs

I used Empressr to create this presentation on coins. While the application looked practical and easy to use from the site description, I found it to be extremely frustrating to use and not very user-friendly. I would not use it again! (Note: The graphics occasionally do not show up even though they are visible in the editing mode.) Text size could only be changed one line at a time when in the bullet function. Additionally, it took extremely long to load images and then load the presentation on the web. I found Google Docs to be much more user-friendly and possibly accessible to my students. I use SMARTTech's SMARTNotebook in my classroom on a daily basis. This program is a free download, is rather easy to use, and is very accessible to my students. It's like Power Point with many more bells and whistles (and a lot easier to use!). I much prefer SMARTNotebook to any of the sites which we explored in class.
