That recreating powerpoint in Second Life is not the best use of the platform is something that is both agreed on almost universally by educators using the platform AND something we inevitably turn to on occaision – commonly to present our work at meetings and seminars.
There are a number of good free or cheap presenters out there – my personal favourite being the Meta Lab interactive whiteboard by AngryBeth Shortbread.
But now SLOODLEr Peter Bloomfield has released the script for a new presentation tool – one especially well suited for shorter presentations using only a few slides and with some nice 3D touches. More…
With ‘Slide Toggler’, you place 3D slides side by side (and above and below each other) allowing them all to be viewed together. Then clicking on any chosen slide will pull it forward towards the audience and enlarge it. Click again to put it back.
Simple but effective – and while the slides themselves are still just as 2D as before, this little touch helps make the presentation itself a lot more 3D.
