My Digital Footprint

John Seely Brown

The web has just begun to have an impact on our lives. As fascinated as we are with it today, we’re still seeing it in its early forms… My belief is that not only will the web be as fundamental to society as electrification but that it will be subject to many of the same diffusion and absorption dynamics as that earlier medium.

Presentation Tools

Prezi
Prezi takes the linear out of presentation tools.  It's an alternative to Powerpoint and enables you to put all your resources in once place then create a pathway through them.  See an example of Prezi in Maths teaching.

Open Exhibits
For the creation of multitouch, multiuser exhibits and displays, this software is free to students, museums and educational organisations.  This is very exciting presentation software.
