Zoho Show – Review…
If you have a basic understanding of PowerPoint you will have little or no difficulty using Zoho Show. The templates/themes make it easy to create nice looking presentations. You can email presentations to yourself or email them to friends. You can share it online in a public network or may keep it private. You can publish it to a website or put include it in your blog. The buttons are right on the top and well labeled. The menu is very user friendly. You can use the menu of clipart, shapes, symbols and make flow charts too! The nice part is that you do not have to pay to use Zoho and so you can create Presentations, as well as use them interdependently with the other Zoho tools. I noticed that you are not given as many options to alter the timing, transitions and appearance of your presentation. It would be difficult to create an interactive STair. I feel that PowerPoint has more options for altering your presentation functions and to personalize it.Zoho could be used to create basic presentations in a classroom setting individually or in a group. The teacher could pair up students who have computers at home and those who do not. That way if they wanted to work at home they could. Zoho is web based, so they could simply log on at any computer and have their presentation ready to work on!

Beth : Thanks for using Zoho Show & writing about your experiences! Transitions & setting time for each slide (now you can set a fixed number of seconds between slides) are things we have got in our To-Dos list.
