PRESENTATION: CREATION&STOCK SERVICES


Choosing the best presentation software for your needs is about 70% of success.Think this is an exaggeration? Just remember how many times a badly designed presentation—with slides chock full of text and outdated animation effects—instantly made you think twice about the credibility of the person presenting their product or idea. Or how a glitch  made you lose your patience.
PowerPoint deserves credit for being straightforward and easy to use. Almost anyone, regardless of skill level, can quickly learn how to use the software and pull together a presentation.
But accessibility is just one factor you need in presentation software. To consistently create presentations that grab audiences’ attention, you’ll need software with greater functionality. An ideal program lets you easily create and display visually stunning presentations across devices at a cost that fits your budget.
Here are the main factors to consider when looking for great presentation software:
  • Design library: It should offer a large number of templates, images, and other media to create your presentation.
  • Features: Rather than just including standard slides, software should offer alternative formats to share presentation content and engage audiences.
  • Shareability: For easy collaboration, users should be able to share presentations with other users and allow simultaneous editing.
  • Simplicity: Most users aren’t design experts, so software should be simple enough for any person to use, regardless of their background.
  • Cost: Find software that fits your budget so you can consistently create presentations.
It’s unlikely that you’ll find software that checks all of those boxes, but aim to match as many of the factors as possible. Find a software with greater assets than PowerPoint and you’ll have tools at hand to create captivating presentations.

1. Prezi

Rather than offering a slide-by-slide presentation, it’s more of a visual and interactive mind map, wherein you interact with different elements on a virtual canvas.
This cloud-based software is popular for its nonlinear presentations, which pan and zoom from one page to the next without creating the impression of moving to a new slide. It’s a favorite with a lot of students and educators, especially for its ease of use.

  • Design library: Prezi offers roughly 100 templates for building presentations.
  • Features: Beyond sequential slides, as with PowerPoint, Prezi lets you create frames that can zoom in and out from one another. This movement is perfect for showing how ideas relate to each other.
  • Shareability: Up to 10 people can work on a Prezi at once.
  • Simplicity: Prezi has an uncluttered interface with a drag-and-drop editor that’s easy to use.
  • Cost: Prezi has a free basic plan and several premium plans ranging from $7 to $59 per month.
All in all, Prezi is worth using for its features. The ability to show how ideas relate to one another using Prezi’s frames and zoom feature is far more engaging than PowerPoint’s typical bullet-point slides.

2. Google Slides

Out of all the software options on this list, Google Slides is most like PowerPoint. It is formatted similarly and lets you upload and edit PowerPoint files on the platform.

There are a few key advantages that G Slides has over PowerPoint, though: It’s free and online, so you can easily collaborate with just a browser.
  • Design library: Google Slides has roughly 20 themes for people to use as templates.
  • Features: Google Slides lets you create slide presentations, just like PowerPoint.
  • Shareability: Presentations can be shared with people and edited simultaneously.
  • Simplicity: The task bar is a bit cluttered, with a few small, unclear icons, but overall the software is straightforward enough for most people to use.
  • Cost: Google Slides is free.
  • Compatibility: Google Slides is available for desktops and iOs and Android devices.
Google Slides is similar to PowerPoint, but it’s still a strong–and free–alternative that allows users to collaborate through just a browser rather than requiring downloaded software.

3. Canva

Is "Web 2.0" just another buzzword?

Изображение
Out of all the Internet buzzwords and jargon that have made the transition to the public consciousness, "Web 2.0" might be the best known. Even though a lot of people have heard about it, not many have any idea what Web 2.0 means. Some people claim that the term itself is nothing more than a marketing ploy designed to convince venture capitalists to invest millions of dollars into Web sites. There wasn't even any agreement about if there was a Web 1.0. Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, dismissed the Web 2.0 concept. He called Web 2.0 "a piece of jargon" and said "nobody even knows what it means" in an IBM developerWorks interview. Berners-Lee said the World Wide Web was always a way for people to connect with one another and that there was nothing new or revolutionary about the Web 2.0 philosophy Other people insist that Web 2.0 is a reality. In brief, the characteristics of Web 2.0 include: The ability for visitors to make c...

WHAT IS WIKI

Изображение
Hello, dear fellows! Ch­ances that you have heard of Wikis by now - seem to be popping up everywhere. For example, the most famous wiki is called Wikipidea, a massive online encyclopedia. Wikipedia has become so large (more than a million articles) that you run across it all the time in Google. It is so popular that it is now one of the Top 100 web sites in the world! ­ Wikis are growing because, at their core, they are about as simple as can be. That simplicity means that people find them easy to use, just like e-mail and blogs. Like e-mail and blogs, wikis also perform a very useful service in a simple way. A wiki allows a group of people to enter and communally edit bits of text. These bits of text can be viewed and edited by anyone who visits the wiki. But at the same time,  Wikis also seem very strange to many people. Where does all the information come from? Is it reliable? What stops people from vandalizing a wiki until it dies? People assume that becau...
