For this activity I explored Prezi and Ahead presentation tools. For Prezi, I watched the tutorial. This appeared to be user friendly and easy to navigate. It is easily accessed. It does limit the ability to collaborate and file share. There were several capabilities that allowed multi-media, photos, animation, sound, and videos within the presentation. It was engaging because of the way that Prezi lays out the final presentation. Unlike power point that appears in a slide show. Prezi uses an interactive board that displays the images and videos in a connection process that is not set up as a slide to slide presentation. It shows things interconnected.
Ahead is an interactive program that allows users to share their presentations, move and drag the parts of the presentation. It has the ability to zoom out and in as you click on various parts of the text with your mouse. This keeps you on your toes because depending on were you click, will determine what you see. It also has the ability to present like a slide show. However, I liked the interactive use of the screen. You can grab the text and move it around. It lacked a tutorial to show how to set it up.
I would recommend prezi since it is more user friendly. While kids are technology savvy, they have to understand how to navigate the software they are using. Kids may not have the knowledge to know what software program to use to help design their presentations. It's helpful to narrow down that list. They are able to upload videos, pictures, animation, and sound.
