I have not used Power Point in a few years now, so as an alternative I have found the recent software by Apple (KeyNote) to be amazingly good to work with a very flexible! The only limit is your creativity. I have created games such "Family Feud", "Jeopardy", etc. I'm also now working on an "Oscar Awards" like presentation for our school's student video awards. So, like the Oscars, I have short video clips of the nominees appearing in each corner, stopping at a still when it's complete. Then, when the winner is announced, that video image jumps forward and takes up the entire screen. Anyway, hard to explain here, but it is a great piece of software.
The other one that I use with students is "First Class". It is simple to use, but a bit limited. It works the same way web page construction does. The advantage is that all students have access to it, it is simple so it is easy to teach. I recommend teachers look at it and encourage students to use it for presentations.
