Musings on education, techology, and life..
[tags]linklog[/tags]
My blogging has slowed down a bit, in part because we are entering the busiest few months of the year both at work (a lot of training, development, and other things happening all at once) and at home (end of the school year, the beginning of our short, meteoric summer season). But also because part of me is in deep-think mode. Working with technology and education and innovation is like pushing around a boulder of ideas that constantly gets bigger and bigger. It’s natural, I think, to find natural pockets to come to rest… and reassess. That’s where I’m at and have been, in a way, since the Northern Voice conference in February. I feel change happening but I can’t quite articulate it. Yet.

Are there any good alternative presentation systems out there that can really replace Powerpoint? Keynote, sure, but I’m on a PC. S5 is a good idea, and works ok but it doesn’t handle resolution changes very well– nothing more annoying than setting up with the projector and having your cool picture only cut in half. Opera Show is interesting but you (and more important those viewing the presentation later) must have Opera and, well, not that many people do. Using OpenOffice Impress feels like replacing one irritating presentation product with another just like it.
For now I’m sticking with S5 plugged into PmWiki, but it’s not scratching the itch. I guess I could go back to LaTeX + Prosper, but that’s an awful lot of installing and tweaking for just this one task (considering I try to resist presentations requiring slides). Is there any movement in this space or are people just resigned to Powerpoint and Keynote forever?
