Presentation Tools
Kahoot
Kahoot is a fun and interactive tool that is more of an audience engager than true presenter. Essentially the audience member enters a code generated by Kahoot and they can participate in the discussion by answering questions pre set by the presenter. It also keeps a score which adds a fun competitive element. This is a great formative assessment tool.
Powtoon
Powtoon is a freemium software that allows for teachers and students alike to create some pretty cool presentations. It is highlighted by animated customizable characters that give your presentation an animated feel. The transitions are clean and you can add movie files as backgrounds while is fun.
Vidra
Vidra is a voice over super easy presentation maker. Think one class to present an idea type of a thing. It also will let you upload straight to Youtube which is great for students and teachers alike when wanting to present. Extremely user friendly so tutorial not really needed. It's a grab and go model. The only downside is that it is $7USD so you have to really use it for it to be worthwhile. However, if you do, it could change your class. Worth taking a look at for sure.
Poll Everywhere
Poll Everywhere is a cool tool that engages audiences by having them answer questions as you are delivering content. The answers can be entered via cell phone, iPad, or computer. This can be a formative assessment tool or used for brainstorming by using the open ended question option. A powerful element of Poll Everywhere is the instant feedback projection. When brainstorming, ask the open ended question or topic and project the answers that people enter on their device in real time.
Plickers
Think Kahoot without a device! Plickers is another way to formatively assess your students during a lecture or afterwards. Students do not need a mobile device, but the instructor will. Students are given unique cards that you print out. When you ask a question, they hold up the cards and using the Plicker app through your camera, you can collect all of the student's answers and gives you immediate feedback.
