Thing 13-Presentations

I found the apps for thing 13 interesting.  I just recently used Prezi on my desktop computer to create a library orientation for an online class. I was excited to see that Prezi has a free app so I downloaded that and when I login to my account my Prezi is there so now I can edit it from the iPad as well as any desktop or laptop computer I may be using.

I tried Deck for this blogging experience.  I liked that the description says it requires no design skills whatsoever because I feel that describes me quite well!  I tried to use much of the info from my online library orientation presentation that I made in Prezi.  I found that I didn't have enough space to go into in depth instructions.  I really liked how the presentation looked at the end when I was done but I wish there was a way to record audio.  I can't really use this app for my online presentation where I'm not there to talk and add details and explanations but I could use this app for my face to face presentations.  It definitely did a much neater job of presenting than I can do myself.  I also found it easier to use than Powerpoint.

I looked at HaikuDeck very briefly.  The one thing that really stood out about this app was it's ability to search our Creative Commons licensed images for you to include in your presentation.  I think this would be a great tool for students who don't always know or think to look for CC licenses.
