Article Review: Tackk

Summary

There are so many tools available for creating presentation, such as PowerPoint, Prezi, Voicethread, etc. There is a new tool called Tackk. The editor on the right side allows you to customize how the section looks. You can add heading, information, and medias. When you're done, you will be given a URL that links to your presentation. You can give this URL to others and they can access your presentation right away. You can select whether to let others be able to edit it or not (view only). Trail expires in 7 days. If you create an account, it'll never expire. You have to be 13 and older to have an account.

Main Concept

  • Creativity - All presentation tools are made to make presentations more creative and interesting.
  • Advancement - Tackk and other tools shows the advancement in technology. New tools are being created to facilitate and make presentations fun.
  • Presenting - Tackk and other tools are finding new ways to present information (not just powerpoint). They are trying to make the presentation attractive and easy to understand.


Strength

  • There is no need to email it or use a thumb drive to send your powerpoint to others.
  • Your group member can edit it and you can see the changes without transferring it through email or thumb drive all over again.
Weakness
  • Children under the age of 13 should be able to make an account in Tackk too.
  • Tackk is just like the other tools used to present; it's too similar to be that much help.
Questions
  1. What are some other creative ways to present aside from making a fancy powerpoint presentation?
  2. What can you suggest Tackk to include in their list of functions available?
