Post #13: Presentations - Deck Slideshow Presentations

Deck Slideshow Presentations is an app that allows users to easily create a slideshow of information without having to work on the design aspect themselves.  It provides easy-to-type boxes for the user to insert text and then presents the information in an attractive way.  It has many different slide layouts/designs to choose from, but many don't seem very professional and most cost extra to purchase.  I have used several different types of programs to present information - Power Point, Google, Projeqt and others - and I like them all better than Deck Slideshow because there are more tools and choices for how best to present the information.  This would be a useful app for someone who is just learning how to present on a computer or other electronic device.  It would also be useful in a classroom if a teacher wanted students to focus on presenting information instead of the different "bells and whistles" of other presentation programs.  The app is simple and easy-to-use and the creations can be exported.  A third use would be for people who are traveling and want to work on presentations while moving around - focusing on content instead of layout.  Personally, I don't think I would ever use this app - I actually like to include some creativity in the presentations I make - so this app actually takes some of the fun out of it.
