Powerpoint is important in students' lives, especially college students because they have lots of chances to do presentations.
I found a tool that is easy to be used which is 280 slides. I think this is a good tool for both PC or MAC users. The system of MAC is different from PC, and some PC users don't know how to use MAC system. It would be more convenient to make power point on the internet without the restraint of systems.
The features of 280 slides are as follows:
1. import existing documents
2. autosave and recovery
3. take it with you
4. download to powerpoint
5. built-in media search
6. publish to the web
7. quality themes
8. run in your web browser
Teachers or speakers can also use this to do their speech. The file can be stored on the server but the limitation is there should be an internet connection. If the speaker forgets to bring the file, he or she can get it online. Moreover, it can be download to powerpoint and uses can also put photos or music from youtube or flickr. It is really convenient to be use but the disadvantage is it depends on internet. 280 slides can also be published to the web and share to others.
However, the bad news is the tool is going to be closed on 12/21.
Thank you for sharing this Web 2.0 tool. I think it is a very useful tool. From my own experience during student teaching, the excuse for not having a PowerPoint presentation was, "I forgot to e-mail it to myself" or "I forgot to put it on my USB drive." With 280 Slides, students can work on the same PowerPoint at home or school without needing to use a USB drive or e-mail. Students can access the same PowerPoint from any computer. This would be a wonderful tool for freshmen students in high school, especially as they learn how to be responsible for themselves and their work.
回覆刪除This is a great tool. I like the idea of simplicity, as new learners to PowerPoint could use this site to help introduce them to using slide programs in general. The ability to share online, too, could lead to some creative imbedding in blogs and other sites students share with each other.
回覆刪除It's too bad this site is closing down is a few weeks. I, too, liked the simplicity of the site as it didn't have a lot of choices etc. but sometimes that is not a bad thing. Thanks for sharing.
