SlideDog is a powerful presentation tool that seamlessly switches between multimedia presentation files and makes it easy to present like a professional.
Baiba Svenca's insight:

SlideDog (which I scooped a long time ago) deserves re-scooping as it is an awesome software for lining all your presentation ingredients (including PPT, Prezi, PDF, Word, Excel, videos, images etc.) into one playlist which can be launched at your convenience at any appropriate  moment.

No need to open your selected media individually, SlideDog will do it for you seamlessly! Now also works on iPad, and Mac version is in beta stage.

Zeega - create and share interactive videos

Zeega - create and share interactive videos | Digital Presentations in Education | Scoop.it

Zeega is a new form of interactive media, enabling anyone to express themselves by easily combining media from the cloud. Make the web you want. Zeegas work across all platforms, from iOS to Android to Chrome, Firefox, IE and Safari. A Zeega can play inside Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and other apps.

Baiba Svenca's insight:

Zeega is a new tool for creating interactive videos (which look to me more like slideshows). You can search for media on various sites including Tumblr, SoundCloud, Flickr and Giphy (read in FAQ why YouTube videos are not supported), or you can upload your own images. Share your videos on social sites, e-mail or embed them.

more of a monologue than dialogue at first sight but maybe I've missed something about the interaction...still learning

Andrew Aker's curator insight, September 5, 2013 5:53 AM

awesome teaching and learning tool!

Melanie Faizer's curator insight, March 10, 2014 9:57 PM

Zeega.com is a great example of storytelling through aggregating and curating, and in addition, embedded, automated attribution. It removes much of the burden of copyright. From a storytelling perspective, it has limitless possibilities, but one of the challenges is finding that story worth telling. Some Zeega examples are beautifully executed; too many are (from a journalistic perspective) one-dimensional in their execution and not thought-provoking. We are still new at curating content, and it shows. Curating is another form of narrating: the story still needs a point, a trajectory.

9 apps for creating multimedia content • Inspired Magazine | Digital Presentations in Education | Scoop.it

Until a few years ago designing an attractive presentation, or any other form of multimedia content, required expert designers. You first had to explain your idea to the designer who would then spend hours in isolation, using complex tools and software, to turn them into reality...
