At the ICT at KS2 course the other day, we looked at Google docs and realised that the promised presentation tool has arrived. It is now possible for one or more people to create a presentation at the same time or at different times, online. The general feeling was that this could be enormously useful to use with children, though to save confusion it would be better if each person worked on a different section or even slide of the presentation. There are a number of themes available (I like ‘blackboard’), though no transition choices. You can run the presentation from Google docs or export to PowerPoint. (You can also import from PowerPoint).
If you want to use Google docs, users need to sign up for a username and password. (You could , as suggested by a course member, sign up for an account per computer in your suite).
