ost people use Microsoft PowerPoint to create presentations, however there are many other tools which enable creation of more dynamic presentations. One such example is the Prezi web application which is well known for its unique zooming UI. Similarly, Impress.js is a JavaScript library and a free alternative to Prezi. Unfortunately, Prezi comes with a huge price tag and Impress.js can only be utilized by developers. If you are a lay user who wishes to get the functionality of the aforementioned tools to create more innovative presentations, then try Infinite Canvas. As the name suggests, it is a web based canvas which can be used to add images for creating slides which can be zoomed (in and out) like Prezi and Impress.js.

Mural.ly is a new tool (still in beta, launched last week) that is a cross between Prezi and mind maps. It's easy to use and share what you create (perfect for most students, teachers, and parents) but the real beauty of mural.ly is in its lack of structure.

Prezi like from MicroSoft

This is a fabulous presentation on how teachers can use Evernote to make their record keeping so much easier. It has some great personal examples as well as embedded movies showing how to.

Fantastic use friendly site for creating mind maps of images / information online. Works almost in fairly similar way to prezi. Very easy to learn. Free sign up. Collaborate on mind maps with other people. You can select to be emailed daily, weekly or monthly changes to the popplet. Think you only have 5 free 'popplets' though :(
