Here are a couple of introductory presentations that you may find useful. Note that you can give presentations effectively in [[Etoys]], including an olpc-style toolbar; and that you can use [[remote display]] to present directly from your XO. In Etoys, you can import a standard powerpoint or open office slidestack into [[Etoys]]. You can also create a presentation from scratch in Etoys, including both static text and images (as with other presentation software), scripts and moving objects, and other (programmable) Etoys components.
