8. Prezi Similar to PowerPoint, but with more powerful and interesting features. Presentations are created on a "canvas" rather than on "slides". An online Flash-based presentation tool that allows users to either develop structural pathways, or employ a non-structural approach, on a single digital canvas. Users can zoom in, and zoom out (either manually or by the determined pathway), and the importance of items in the presentation can be determined by the sizing of elements.

9. Power Point Decide on the following: – The Title of Your Slide Show – What pictures and text will be placed on each slide – How many slides you will make Make a storyboard. – A storyboard is a visual layout of the pictures and text you want on each slide. Use these templates to tell your story. PowerPoint allows you to choose a layout. If using, be prepared to narrate the entire presentation.
