Death by Powerpoint, Pecha Kucha, Presentation Zen, and TedTalks–giving presentations is as important as ever.

Are you interested in new methods of presenting information to your students? Then this session is for you. The presenters will showcase five free online presentation tools that allow you maximum control over the creative process. These tools will allow you the opportunity to integrate your own materials, while including selections from their audio/visual libraries. The presenters, both of whom have strong backgrounds in online training and using various visual techniques to reach students, will share their expertise.
