In fact, I never know there are such a
variety of presentation tools before I learn this session, such as Google Docs,
Prezi, Slide Rocket and Zoho. Besides, I only can use PowerPoint as
presentation tool. The basic functions of these presentation tools are similar
with PowerPoint, but the biggest difference of them is that they run platform
all based on network and contents are stored on the Cloud. In addition, these
new presentation tools not only bring the advantages of the traditional
presentation tools into the full play, but also develop new functions based on
the original. Even, dull presentation can also do as attractive as a story.
With the development of network, the
influence of presentation technologies in education is gradually revealed. It
is benefit to make use of and share information flexibly and promote non-linear
thinking mode. The linear structure is not the most effective form of
presentation for teaching. If the course content is organized according to the
linear structure, undoubtedly this is move content intactly to the
presentation. Non-linear mode can inspire students to think and develop
innovative thinking. Besides, this free-form presentation tool supports groups
or individual online collaboration and communication. Additionally,
presentation technologies promote the development of distance education. These
presentation tools can make users in the distance classroom achieve more
thorough collaboration.
Nowadays, Cloud-based office software
cannot substitute for Microsoft Office. However, with the continuous
development of information technology, online software and online services
gradually become the new trend of the future. A lot of software and management
systems are beginning to provide online service model. I believe that people
can get rid of the operation in the desktop side and move work, live and learn
to the Internet in the future.
I believe that most classmates, as you and me, haven't used those presentation tools before this section. Indeed, this course give me a surprise that presentations can be done online and can be saved on the net.In addition, you wrote a good piece of entry, concluded some features of those new presentation tools in 200 words, which are supporting Non-linear mode, online collaboration and distance education. Although I'm not sure whether you are right because I haven't been familiar with all those tools, but you have enlightened me. If they indeed are so good, I thinks the main point is how they can become popular and how every one of us acquire their powerful functions. Because nowadays still many people like you and me are using PPT.
