A few weeks ago I started tinkering with a piece of software called Prezi which is available free (you can also upgrade at a cost), and is a tool to create presentations.
I was looking to create a way of pulling all the presentations together for the CiCS Departmental meeting.
I did find it frustrating at times, but after a few hours I had actually produced something I was reasonably happy with which can be seen here. The compromise was that it didn't encompass the presentations people were making except for a hyperlink - however time didn't allow me to look at moving other peoples presentations into Prezi.
In the end I chose not to use this at the departmental meeting as there was a lot of opportunity for things to go wrong, however its an interesting way of producing presentations once you get your head round it.
A number of other people within the University have started to use Prezi, another example of a presentation using it can be seen here.
Over time we will look and see if we will use Prezi, it does however provide an interesting alternative to PowerPoint (for now).

I've had a play around with Prezi. Although I like some of the effects, I do find overall it can have a bit too much motion. Think I'd like something in between this and good old PowerPoint.
