PowerPoint presentations are commonly used today by teachers,students and businessmen.Making them more interesting than other presentations,is everybody's concern to keep the classroom or boardroom engaged.
One interesting site I came across is cooltext.
A FREE logomaker,buttonmaker,it also generates real COOL TEXT.Select the type of text,the font style,the size,and then how you want it to appear.There is the 3D version,animated glow,outline,to name a few.Choose colours,type in the text desired and your cooltext is generated in seconds.
You can download this to your computer,email it,or simply take the HTML code generated and use it on your website or blog,as a header,or in the sidebar.
I find that it retains the animated glow better when you insert it into a presentation on Google Docs.
