Free and Easy to Use Web Based Presentation and Classroom Tools
Jensen, Jennifer; Tunon, Johanna
Journal of Library & Information Services In Distance Learning, v6 n3-4 p323-334 2012
A number of free Web-based tools are available for distance librarians to create presentations and online assignments. The relative merits of presentation tools like Dabbleboard, Jing, Prezi, Tildee, 280 Slides, and Glogster, and classroom tools like Make Beliefs Comix, Picviewer, Photopeach, and Wordle are assessed for ease of use by distance librarians. Because most of these applications are cloud based, little or no downloading is required to use these applications from any PC. As long as one has an Internet connection, distance librarians can use these free and easy tools to reach out and touch students! (Contains 2 tables.)
