We’ve done this challenge before, but in the lead up to September when we’ll be advising new students on new programs, I felt it was due a comeback. 

In the lab, there are two presentation programs installed – PowerPoint and Open Office Impress. Online platforms like Prezi and Google Docs can be accessed anywhere via the web once you create an account. You might know another presentation software you like to recommend to people. Choose a couple of platforms (all of them if you get time) and list its good features as well as difficulties. Create a 6 slide (in Prezi at least 6 frames) presentation. Please include as many features as possible, including audio, video, and animations. 

The deadline for full points is Tuesday, July 11th at 11am
