Students Ahead of the Curve with Empressr!

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Empressr has been privileged to have users from most every neck of the woods imaginable. The INSANE variety of stories posted every day never ceases to amaze us and reinvigorate our excitement for the application.

Well, beyond business implications, among the largest constituents of all presentation tools are students and teachers. Where once teachers were more apt to use classic educational methods, these days it seems more and more base their entire course plan around presentations they have made.

In fact, many are taking the initiative, getting their students engaged with new programs as they come out.  They are not only using technology to facilitate education but positioning their students to be ahead of the curve.

A perfect example popped up in Empressr today.  Teacher/Empressr user “Iritzel” posted an assignment for his students to review a recent tech article, create a basic Empressr about it, and then use the variety of tools we provide.

Teaching and Technology is “Impressed with Empressr”

The team here at Empressr LOVE IT when people get excited about the Empressr application!!!

We are always working on making your user experience the BEST possible and making Empressr the best product it can be. Part of that comes from our users feedback; that means you guys!!!

This is a great example from Eldor Germann’s blog Teaching and Technology.  Beyond making us blush, we think he did an AWESOME job of summing up some of our great features like our 3D tranistions, direct import from YouTube, and on-slide image reflections.

Eldon also relates a great experience with tech support from @GlobalCitizen and @BryanThatcher which is something we really take pride in.

All in all its a great read and we highly suggest you check out his blog and the article on Empressr!
