You have probably seen a lot of these new presentation tools that are coming out like SlideRocket, Prezi, and SlideShare. These are all separate tools that take time to learn, but they add a whole world of new options and choices. When you are updating your Powerpoint presentations to be hip and fresh, you want new ways to deliver the material, but you just don't have the time to learn a whole new set of tools. How about trying out Snap? This is a tool that works through Powerpoint to give you all those extra, cool options right in the program that you are already working in.
Snap allows you to record audio/visual content right into your presentation, add clickable webpages, insert youtube videos, insert flash animation, add interactive quizzes and surveys, add open-able attachments for additional learning, and publish online and offline. This program does it all, by just adding another set of tools to your existing Powerpoint menu. (Right now they only offer a Windows version and it is a one-time fee of $99, check out a comparison)

About This Blog
"...In the spring of 2009, the FPU Online Advisory Committee recommended and proposed to the members of Faculty Session that a center dedicated to providing support and resources for online education and technology enhanced instruction be established at Fresno Pacific University. Members of Faculty Session approved the proposal, pending the identification of external funding resources. In the fall of 2009, FPU was blessed to be able to establish a partnership agreement with the AIMS Education Foundation that provided the needed resources to begin the implementation of such a center. With final approval from the FPU Board of Trustees and the FPU President and Provost, the Center for Online Learning was created in October 2009..."
The COL Corner is one of the places to keep updated with all of the things that the Center for Online Learning at Fresno Pacific University is doing, as well as a place to learn more about Online Learning in general. We are interested in how the power of having the internet at your fingertips changes the way you learn and get involved with your classes and fellow students, and hope to present resources and information that help you in a way you can easily access - but doesn't make you feel stupid.
