Creating an Interactive Presentation with hyperlinks within the presentation. Using the Polygon tool you can create clickable areas to add your links.

Adding Audio or Music to your presentations. This is a great example, however I discovered you are able to push the video off of the screen completely and it still works. This way you don't see the video on your presentation at all. You can also adjust the start and stop time of the video so the music fits your slide perfectly.

Ignite Sessions - Get students to create dynamic presentations where they need to be well versed in their subject. The premise behind an Ignite Session is to provide the speaker 20 slides, that proceed automatically after 15 seconds with a total time limit of 5 minutes. I did one recently and while it is stressful, it was a powerful experience. It forced me to be concise. I had 15 seconds to connect the images on the slide to the concept I was speaking. I had 15 seconds to take a concept and make it understandable to others. 15 seconds to explain something before the next slide and the next idea appeared. The cool thing about the project was the topic was broad enough that it provided lots of opportunity for individualization. It was powerful because I got to not only learn about the topic but also see the personalities and interests of colleagues shine through.
