Tech Tidbits video: Buncee

Hello again!  It's been some time since I've posted, I know!  Welcome to 2016, I hope you have had a great year so far, and the rest of the year is even better for you!

In today's Tech Tidbits video, I demonstrate the use of Buncee, which allows you to create an interactive presentation that can be used by teachers, students, and school administrators.  The basic account is free with limited features, but you can sign up for a 30-day free trial for the Plus account, with no credit card required.  The Plus account has many more features to offer.  This video only provides a brief summary of how to use Buncee with a free basic account.




The display format is very similar to PowerPoint, with the "slides" you create on the left and the graphics interface in the center of the screen.  You are able to add text boxes and format them much as you would in PowerPoint, as well.  You can also insert images that are saved on your computer, from the internet, etc. You can add stickers, YouTube and Vimeo videos, and link them to internet sites.  





Once you have created your Buncee presentation, you can download them as a jpeg image (in the basic account), or send out the link in an email.  You are also able to embed the presentation on a website.  You are also able to share the presentation on social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, and LinkedIn. 

Buncee provides teachers and students with another webtool for presentation purposes, announcements, and more.  It is extremely user friendly and easy to navigate.
