Did you know that Google now has a "stock image gallery" with more that "5,000 images that are labeled for re-use." The images are for use with Google Drive while creating documents or presentations. "To access these images select 'image' from the 'insert' menue when you're working on a document or presenation. Then select the 'search' option and finally select 'stock image' to search for a stock image to use..." You may also search Google images and Life images.

Presentations are more than just Powerpoint or Keynote. While those presentation tools will get the presentation-making job done, there are definitely better options out there.
Beth Dichter's insight:
A look at three presentation tools that you might want to use. * Haiku Deck is a free app that allows you to create presentations with slick graphics that they provide or you may use your own. They will soon be releasing a web-based app so head over to their site to sign up for it. * Projeqt is another web-based presentation tool. It has an easy to use interface and you can bring in materials from a range of sources. * Google Presentation allows for collaboration and much more. Google continues to add features including a range of templates and the ability to easily share. Which one is right for you? Check them all out and determine which would best meet your needs. Have fun exploring!
