At the recent CNIE conference in Ottawa, the opening keynote address used a presentation tool quite unlike Powerpoint. It's called Prezi, and it was refreshingly different, if a bit dizzying when things moved fast.
To get an idea of what Prezi does, here's a brief quote from their site:
"Prezi allows anyone who can sketch an idea on a napkin to create and perform stunning non-linear presentations with relations, zooming into details, and adjusting to the time left without the need to skip slides."
Here's George Siemens' CNIE 2009 keynote presentation on "New Media, new learners? Finding a firm foundation for reconsidering the role and shape of education" (using Prezi). I'd recommend trying the forward and back navigation first, but also take a look at the free-form navigating by dragging the screen and clicking on different areas.
To get more detail on the presentation, here's the related delicious site with links. You'll also see a reference to our very own Mark Bullen!

Kathy-
Thanks for this- very interesting way of distributing a presentation. I have a question about the content of his presentation. What did he mean by Web 3D? I know what Web 2.0 refers to but I wasn't sure about Web 3D.
It was a term I hadn't heard about before either. But I discovered there's a whole consortium dealing with it: http://www.web3d.org/
