Recently, instructors have been using technology tools to motivate learners. these tools have two major features: being interactive and individualized. Powtoon is a free tool known to have these characteristics. It is user-friendly and easily used by both teacher and students especially that it has templates that apply to most domains and areas of interest. It is interactive and motivating and could be used for different purposes.

It is not the best free presentation tool (In fact it’s not free at all). So what should you use if you want to make 21st century presentations? A few options come close to claim the best free presentation software.

In Simple Mode, all the little design details take a back seat while the main functionality stars front and center. We simply took the awesome PowToon platform, that you know and love, and added a punch of awesomeness Bam! so that your experience is cleaner, faster and more focused. And, who doesn’t like a nice clean space to work from!?

Here are some reasons why your presentations are BAD! We know that so many of you use programs like PowerPoint or Prezi because they have been around for a while, and it is what you know, but change is not always a bad thing, especially if that change can lead to presentations beyond your wildest imagination.

things to think about (but also think about the content you are communicating) 
Gavin Meikle's curator insight,

A (mostly) great post with some sound advice for better presentations. Here's my take on it ..... Design At the risk of upsetting all those wonderful Graphic Designers out there, I would recommend going easy on the fancy designs. They are not essential. What is essential is a clear simple strategy with one idea per slide, minimal text, no bullet points (yes I mean it!) and clear simple pictures, graphs and diagrams to illustrate your verbal messages. Content
Story Telling
Humour 
Dr. Pamela Rutledge's curator insight,
March 10, 2014 10:43 AM
My take on good presentations: 1) Story 2) Content: Restrain your left brain 3) Design: the experience 4) Humor (optional). Presenting starts with story and uses the visual design to reinforce and add new dimensions to your message. Design the experience, not the slides. Humor works if it's actually funny--not contrived. I've seen a lot that doesn't. Humor is optional. If it comes naturally, great. Focusing on story and image is mandatory. Use serious restraint with putting words on your slides. Words are processed by the rational, 'left-brain' which takes your audience out of any emotional experience and into thinking and linear processing. Take them on a journey, don't give them a lecture. If you feel compelled to give your audience words, give them a handout when you're done.
