Twice in the last week I've been asked for a list of free alternatives to either PowerPoint or Keynote. I've written a couple of these lists over the last five years, but some of the alternatives I've shared in the past have either gone out of business or started charging a fee.
Here's my updated list of free alternatives to PowerPoint and Keynote. Empressr is a fully functional, high quality, online slide show presentation creation and sharing service. Empressr has a couple of features differentiating it from its competitors. Slide Rocket is a web based presentation creator similar to Empressr. Prezi is a popular online tool for creating slideshows that don't have to appear in the linear format typically used in slideshows. Until Google Slides came along the slideshow tool in Open Office was the slideshow creation tool that I used instead of PowerPoint. If your students have iPads, you have to try Haiku Deck.
Fais ton journal. Le logiciel gratuit Fais ton journal permet de créer simplement un journal scolaire à partir d’un ordinateur PC ou Macintosh. Lancé en 2009 à l’occasion de la semaine de la Presse dans l’Ecole, il a été élaboré en partenariat entre le groupe Milan Presse et le CLEMI et est relancé en 2013 avec un site internet dédié : FaisTonJournal.com. Créer son journal Fais ton journal emploie le vocabulaire et des termes des métiers de la Presse (ce qui s’avère intéressant pour l’aspect pédagogique). Ce logiciel de création de journal envisage cette activité comme un projet avec des repères et des étapes à respecter : choix du nom de la publication, sélection de la date de parution, définition des rubriques.

But there are some limitations to it that some teachers don't like. Most notable of those limitations is the time limit (30 seconds unless you get an Animoto for Education account), lack of space for text, and that students have to remember a username and password to use it.
The YouTube slideshow tool provides a tool for creating audio slideshows without those three limitations of Animoto. YouTube Photo Slideshows don't have a time limit other than the standard 15 minute limit applied to all new YouTube accounts (there are work-arounds for this). YouTube Photo Slideshows allow you to specify the length of time that each image is displayed for. After uploading your images you can use the annotations tool to add as much text as you like to each frame of your video.
The images below show you how to create a Photo Slideshow on YouTube. Step 1: Log into your YouTube account and click "upload" then click "Photo Slideshow. " Empressr.
