3rd and Final Emergent Technology

I have already found many items wrong with using SlideRocket to do your presentation.  One thing is that it has the ability to freeze up quickly and often on you.  I was getting very frustrated on this site that I was close to switching to a different technology.  When you add sound, say you want a song to play throughout the whole Presentation, you are not able too.  All you are able to do is add sound just too each slide individually.  So basically for a 30 day free trial, all you are receiving is a 30 day subscription to Microsoft Powerpoint.  You are able to add different animations, motion animations that you cannot add with Powerpoint, but these items are so large, large as in file size large that your computer will run very slow, I consider myself to have a pretty good computer and once you add Sounds, Pictures, Animations, slide Transitions, your computer can barely run.  I had to close everything and forced the computer to run on it's highest settings for it to even run sort of smoothly.  Still very choppy and not worth the 30 day free trial!!  Sliderocket runs on an adobe format so if you don't have adobe then you cannot run this program.  For business with long Presentations, I would recommend just using powerpoint or a simpler type of presentation program.  It just needs a lot of touching up, not good for a school environment either considering it could fail at any moment when you are teaching it.

here is the link, I hope it works on your computer.  I had to take the music and the slide transitions off because it kept freezing or running super slow that I could not finish!!  Ugh very stressful for the last Emergent Technology!!
