PowerPoint or Keynote?
PowerPoint— You have a Windows or Mac — You need to provide the deck via email
OpenOffice
Keynote— You have a Mac — You do NOT need to email it
Google Slides— You don’t have Windows (or a Mac) — You need to integrate with Hangouts
— You don’t have MS Office — You need to provide the deck via email
GoToWebinar? Fuze? Google HoA?
Fuze— Popular in tech world — Good for small informal sessions
GoToWebinar (+ Webex)— The Biggest — Solid A-‐Z flow, but becoming old-‐fashioned.
Google Hangouts on Air— Good for ‘retail’ webinars — Lacks many features, requires mulHple people to operate well.
The next phase in webinars will be you on camera, PLUS great slides.
