Classroom Ideas:

 * Students could create a Present.me presentation as a project
 * Students could create a Present.me presentation and then share it on a course communication site and review them as an activity
 * Teachers could create a Present.me presentation and upload it to the course site as part of a lesson and students would be able to access the information at their own pace or for a teacher to post a review at the end of a unit
 * Could be an excellent tool for teachers to create an online lesson for a flipped classroom
 * Students could use this site to create a video of themselves as if they were doing a newscast and use the power point they create to serve as the images and headings in the broadcast
