Prezi is an online alternative to PowerPoint. "Make your presentations zoom!"

• It's free online (you don't need the paid account).
• Watch the video below to learn how to use it--it takes a little practice, but can create great-looking presentations.

Smore makes it easy to create online fliers and posters with slick templates and simple click and drag manipulation. Consider using smore to jazz up that old paper poster project and provide a means for all students to shine--not just those who are good at drawing, cutting and pasting.

Here's a sample smore flyer: https://www.smore.com/ja9c-the-senses

Do you have a long script for your video? Consider using a teleprompter tool like Speakflow (note that it is voice activated -- "allow" microphone use so the prompter can advance as you read the script automatically) or CuePrompter.

Timetoast allows you to create dynamic timelines online.

• It's free online (you don't need the paid account).
• Beware:  because the timeline you create is interactive with dynamic images, you won't be able to print it out to turn it in.  Instead, you'll have to give your teacher a link to view your timeline online.  Be sure to clear this with him or her before you use this tool for your project.

Here's a sample timeline I made for Rosa Parks (to see it in larger format, use this link)
