Zaption now has Zaption Presenter! It doubles the power and usefulness of an already very cool tool!

My Take

Overview Zaption Presenter is a new feature out of Zaption’s excellent video interactive resources that it merits a fresh look. Concerns In order to access student responses made during the presentation after the fact the teacher needs a “Pro” account, an $89/year sunk cost, in order to download student responses into a .csv file. Depending upon how one chooses to use it, this limitation may be significant. Look at another way, there are a great many free resources, and funding the design team is no crime. The people behind Zaption have families to feed, bills to pay, and lives to live, too. Education must not be seen as a charity business, nor should the development of tools that support effective pedagogy. Zaption, and Zaption Presenter, are impressive products that can and should significantly increase the effective and efficiency of classroom and flipped instruction. Sample Uses If nothing else, Zaption Presenter should enhance/replace just about every PowerPoint deck ever created. Commitment and Learning Curve Presenter: Low, Zaption: Low/Medium. If you know how to use Zaption then Zaption Presenter is effortless. Best for ES MS or HS? All Cost: Free/$89 for single account; premium account $1195/$2995 (Greater storage, sharing, and an LTI for LMS) Website Link: http://www.zaption.com/
