Emaze-ing Presentation Tool

I came across the online presentation tool Emaze by accident and think it's a tool you too should check out!

What caught my eye is how versatile this application is. As you can see by the image below, you have the choice to create a presentation, website, blog, e-card, or photo album.

Once you choose what you want to create, Emaze has pre-made templates you can choose from or if you're gutsy you can start from scratch.

I decided to create a powerpoint-like presentation and used the images and information from my Listly curation about mountain biking in Tallahassee 101 because I wanted to play around with the tool and not focus too much on the information being added. If you look at the below image, you'll notice a similar interface to powerpoint. 

PROS:

• over 40 templates
• you can import a powerpoint
• you can upload your own images or search for free use images
• you can include hyperlinks
• automatic spell check
• sharing capabilities to major social media platforms
• you can download your presentation
• you can do a lot with the free version

CONS:

• presentations are public if using free version
• doesn't automatically save work
• not everything on slide is editable
• does not support collaboration

Here's what I made in 15 minutes. I could have used more bells and whistles, but I just wanted a general understanding of this app so I could add it to my Instructional Designer toolbelt. Later this week I'm planning on creating a quiz with Emaze through the presentation format. Let me know what you think!
