I just read this post on a newsgroup and thought that I might share it in the interests that someone gets something from it. Apparently it was posted as a list of “alternatives to PowerPoint. Not sure I would agree that they are all “slide presentation applications” but I could see how many of them would be a great alternative to kids showing powerpoint slides in a classroom.

I think it could be used as a great activity where students select from a range of tools to show their understanding to the group.
