Prezi is a visual storytelling software and alternative to traditional slide-based presentation formats. Prezi presentations feature a map-like, schematic overview that lets users pan between topics at will, zoom in on desired details, and pull back to reveal context.

This freedom of movement enables “conversational presenting,” a presentation style in which presentations follow the flow of dialogue, instead of vice-versa.

Prezi’s interactive nature makes it a popular classroom tool. The company has worked closely with the ConnectED initiative since its inauguration by President Barack Obama in 2013, providing free Prezi licenses to hundreds of thousands of Title 1 high school teachers across the nation.

The term “conversational presenting” was coined by the company in 2015 to describe the organic flow of information Prezi enables. By letting presenters adapt the order of their content delivery, this method allows questions and concerns to be addressed as they arise, rather than according to a scripted path.

We live in a PowerPoint world, but despite Microsoft’s best efforts it’s not that easy to put together a professional looking slide deck with the powerful Office presentation app. The learning curve for more than a few slides with simple bullet points is simply too steep.

But a free browser-based alternative called Haiku Deck does a credible job of empowering even novices to create slick presentations with a few mouse clicks. It does this with a wizard-like approach that presents you default slides and several options that you can try out by clicking them.

Of course, you don’t get all of the features that make PowerPoint so powerful (no transition or audio effects, for example), but you don’t have to spend hours learning to use the software, either. Sharing your work is easy, too—Haiku Deck stores your presentations online (you must create an account to use it), but gives you loads of links for downloading them to social media sites and saving them as PDFs or PowerPoint files. A permissions feature lets you choose between making a deck public, sharing it only with people who get a link from you, or keeping it private.

Google Docs, Google Sheets and Google Slides are a word processor, a spreadsheet and a presentation program respectively, all part of a free, web-based software office suite offered by Google within its Google Drive service. The three apps are available as web applications, and as mobile apps for Android and iOS. The apps are compatible with Microsoft Office file formats. The suite also consists of Google Forms (survey software), Google Drawings (diagramming software) and Google Fusion Tables (database manager; experimental).

The suite allows users to create and edit files online while collaborating with other users in real-time. Edits are tracked by user with a revision history presenting changes. An editor's position is highlighted with an editor-specific color and cursor. A permissions system regulates what users can do. Updates have introduced features using machine learning, including "Explore", offering search results based on the contents of a document, answers based on natural language questions in a spreadsheet, and dynamic design suggestions based on contents of a slideshow, and "Action items", allowing users to assign tasks to other users.

Google Forms is a tool that allows collecting information from users via a personalized survey or quiz. The information is then collected and automatically connected to a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is populated with the survey and quiz responses.

The Forms service has also received updates over the years. New features include, but are not limited to, menu search, shuffle of questions for randomized order, limiting responses to once per person, shorter URLs, custom themes, automatically generating answer suggestions when creating forms, and an "Upload file" option for users answering to share content through

In October 2014, Google introduced add-ons for Google Forms, that enable third-party developers to make new tools for more features in surveys.

Google Drawings allows users to collaborate creating, sharing, and editing images or drawings. Google Drawings can be used for creating charts, diagrams, designs, flow-charts, etc. It contains a subset of the features in Google Slides but with different templates. Its features include laying out drawings precisely with alignment guides, snap to grid, auto distribution, and inserting drawings into other Google documents, spreadsheets, or presentations.

Zoom Video Communications is a company operating from San Jose, California that provides remote conferencing services using cloud computing. Offering both meeting and webinar software, Zoom combines video conferencing, online meetings, and mobile collaboration.

Kahoot is designed for social learning, with learners gathered around a common screen. In a typical classroom environment, this will be a smartscreen, interactive whiteboard, or a computer monitor. Many kahoots are also played using screensharing tools such as Skype, Appear.in and Google Hangouts.

When a kahoot is launched, it will have its own unique PIN randomly generated by the system. Using any device with a web browser, players visit the website dedicated for quiz participation, kahoot.it, and input the unique PIN, and then enter a nickname before being directed to the waiting screen (the "lobby"). When all players' nicknames appear in the lobby, the kahoot leader (normally the teacher) clicks the Start button to begin the quiz.

During gameplay, the questions and up to 4 multiple choice answers are displayed on the main screen. Every answer corresponds to a distinctive color and shape. On the screen of the learners' devices, there are at most four rectangles with the color and the shape on each, and the learner needs to click or tap on the rectangle representing the correct answer. The game design is such that the players are required to frequently look up from their devices, enabling social interaction with the teacher and their peers.
