280 Slides: PowerPoint made fast and easy, online

So you have that student who doesn't have PowerPoint at home and is a bit shy about using Virtually Connected. This is an on-line application that will allow student to create a PowerPoint like presentation at home.

In it, you can create a presentation, theme it, add graphics and video, and then present it, share it via Slideshare, or download it as a PowerPoint or PDF file. It's so smooth to use that it's hard to tell the difference in the experience between working in a traditional presentation app like Microsoft PowerPoint or Apple Keynote. It doesn't have a traditional app's over-the-top feature set, but it's so fast and easy to use you'll probably not notice that.
