**Description of Session**
Your school district can't afford a site licensee for PowerPoint? Do you want your students to collaborate on a presentation but they don't own a copy of PowerPoint or they can't find time to get together? Do you want to be able to do a presentation on any computer from anywhere with just an Internet connection? Then the answer to your problems is a cloud based presentation program. Most of these programs are free, offer features like online collaboration, presentation sharing, and authoring schemes that offer alternatives to PowerPoint. This presentation will take an in-depth look at the cloud-based presentation tools that are currently available over the Internet. Evaluation rubrics used to compare the cloud-based tools will be discussed. **STRAND: Communication and Collaboration** **AUDIENCE: Instructional PK-12**
