RE:[seul-edu] [Fwd: presentation software]

How about doing the presentation in html? I've done this already, and it worked pretty well. It would also allow you to easily post your presentation if you so desire.

My favorite part of the whole thing was that people saw that PowerPoint was not the only way to do a presentation. (I've actually seen people use FileMaker Pro database as a presentation tool, too.)
