Emerging Technology #3 - Sliderocket

For my final emerging technology post, I have chosen to explore sliderocket, which is an online presentation software similar to the familiar powerpoint software that comes with Microsoft Office. The link above is to the homepage which also includes a video describing the features of the software, which include, but are not limited to, templates and the ability to save the presentation on the web in order to access it from anywhere. How many times have you had to make arrangements to make sure your powerpoint would work on another computer? Since sliderocket is web-based, the only requirement for any computer is a web browser and the internet, of course. I can see how this website could be useful to students, teachers, and business people.

After creating my free 30 day trial account, I was introduced to an interface that would either allow me to watch a tutorial, import an existing powerpoint, or create a new presentation. I chose to create a small presentation just to try out the website. Here it is. It is so simple to use that even I could figure it out!
