A friend recently introduced me to a web-based presentation tool called Prezi which probably won't kill PowerPoint anytime soon but is still quite awesome. The idea is to move away from the convention of a sequential slide-by-slide presentation, which is a vestige of manual slide projector days. Prezi gives you an unlimited canvas to work off of and then zoom in and out of different parts as you go along - so you end up with something that looks kind of like a mind map. The classroom I'll be working in has a projector so I'm hoping to create a prezintation (?) for later in the semester (personal project, yay)
Speaking of mind maps, this wasn't created using prezi but I saw it earlier and it's a must-watch if you're interested in/going through education:
