Pitch

Principal function(s): Slide presenting

Pitch is a tool for making interactive presentations. It is primarily a team-focused tool but it can be used by individuals as well. It offers attractive templates and styles. Users can add timelines, charts (these can be imported from Google Sheets and Google Analytics), icons, gifs, stickers, and images. Team members are able to connect their cameras and communicate in the presentation. They can also assign slides to people, add statuses to slides about different stages they are in (for example “to do”, “in progress” or “done”), write comments, add reactions, leave presentation notes, share the presentation and invite other participants. Evaluation: Pitch is a user-friendly presentation tool that offers many editing options. It is especially suitable for teachers and students who want to give a fresh look to their classroom presentations. Pitch is very suitable for working in groups or teams.

Cost: Free with registration + premium options available
