Slide Effect: Create Spectacular Presentations

Slide Effect: Create Spectacular Presentations | Wepyirang | Scoop.it
Slide Effect is a presentation software to create advanced shows in a few minutes. Easy to use, spectacular effects and transitions. Download the free trial!

Via Baiba Svenca
Baiba Svenca's curator insight, May 22, 3:27 PM

Slide Effect have just released a new version of the software, and it's worth taking a look at this easy and effective presentation creator.

You build your slides by adding pictures, shapes and text, then customize background and slide transition. 3D text and special apparition effects are new features that help to make your slides really spectacular.

Free trial is available but even a paid version of $39 is not big money if you like the amazing software.

Aquí hay un poco de ayuda para construir su cinematografía, lo que significa pensar como camarógrafo. Imagínese cómo una cámara se mueve a medida que avanza a través de su presentación y predecir la siguiente vista que verá su audiencia. Lo que tienes que hacer es plan de plan de plan hasta que su presentación se convierte en un arte de la performance.

11 Mind Mapping Apps for the iPad

11 Mind Mapping Apps for the iPad | Wepyirang | Scoop.it

Mind mapping is a method that works for quite a lot of people. Brain storming, idea mapping, thought generation, think tanks – call it what you will. Traditionally done on large pieces of paper, why not use your iPad to create mind maps? You could use these for your own purposes, or “convert” those large flip charts into a smaller, digital version.


Via Baiba Svenca
Lee Hall's curator insight, May 16, 2:16 PM

Research shows that mind maps (graphic organizers) are effective during all stages of learning. You can use them as an introduction to a unit, during the unit for continued note taking, or at the conclusion as a formative assessment to make sure your students truly understand the material.

AlGonzalezinfo's curator insight, May 17, 7:19 AM

Narrated Slideshow – Screencast Tool Comparison

Narrated Slideshow – Screencast Tool Comparison | Wepyirang | Scoop.it

A screencast is a digital recording of a computer screen with audio narration. Screencasts can include telestrator (‘John Madden pen’) annotations. Narrated slideshows include audio recordings synchronized to images without hand-drawn annotations.

Screencasts and narrated slideshows can be created with two kinds of tools:

1. Browser-based: Create an account on the website and use a modern web browser like Google Chrome or FireFox to record, save and share it.

2. Client-based: Download and install software on a computing device to record and save.
