After evaluating a list of websites that offer the latest tools for implementing technology into a presentation I have to say that I am blown away by how far technology has come. As an educator I am very excited to try these tools and implement them in my lessons.
Of the sites that I experimented with I found one called Glogster Edu. This site is super easy to use and is very kid friendly. I was surprised at how easy it was and how much I was able to do in a short amount of time. This website is free and can be accessed anywhere there is an Internet connection. This is one that I would share with my students for them to use. I would very highly recommend that you check out this site.
Another site that I visited and liked is called 280 Slides. I like this site because it is very similar to PowerPoint, only it appears to be more advanced and can be used with PowerPoint presentations interchangeably. I like the familiarity of this site. This site allows you to publish PowerPoint presentations directly to the web. There is no cost for this site.
I also found the website Vuvox very useful for professional looking presentations. This site has a lot of information to read through, so I would not recommend it for kids to use, but it appears very practical for adults and to create presentations to share with students or my colleagues.
I was surprised at the number of tools out there also! I didn't know where to begin. Technology is amazing, look at how far we have come. I can remember when PowerPoint or PhotoStory were top notch technology tools. I need to brush up!

Glogster is a resource that my students use frequently to present their work. It is a great way to present information, photos, and videos. It also allows the students to express themselves with the graphics and illustrations.
