"A Kahoot is a collection of questions on specific topics. Created by teachers, students, business-people and social users, they are asked in real-time, to an unlimited number of “players”, creating a social, fun and game-like learning environment."
How does it work?
Kahoot! is a free, multi-platform, game-based classroom response system. It works on Macs, PCs, iPads, Android tablets and smartphones. The teacher or the students in small groups prepare a set of multiple choice questions related to a certain topic they have studied or they are going to learn. Once signed up, the teacher creates a series of multiple choice questions with which to quiz their students, and projects it onto a screen via an LCD projector for the whole class to see. Quiz questions may include an image or even a video for the students to use as a reference to help them submit their answer. A time limit of up to two minutes can be assigned to each question, but can be as short as five seconds for quick fire answers.
Once the quiz is ready in the Kahoot app, the teacher gets a PIN code from the webpage and the students enter that PIN code and their names. Players answer questions displayed at the front of the room on their personal device or their PCs, motivated to answer correctly and score the most points. The faster someone answers a question correctly, the more points they get.
You can download the app to your mobile device from Play Store or if you decide to play from your computer, you should visit https://kahoot.it

Authorstream is a powerful online presentation sharing engine that allows you to upload presentation with media elements (video and audio). Similar to Slideshare, but you upload the ppt with its audio!
Of course, you can share the presentation or embed it in you blog or site. Just register and upload your stuff from your PC, from gmail, dropbox or Google Drive.
Sometimes we have PDF files that we would like to edit, and then, we have to convert them into a doc file. If you haven't got a programme in your computer that helps you do that, you can use an online application to convert that type of files.
Here you have two good possibilities for that.
I have tried some of these applications and I consider they are the best you can find on the Net without registration (No sign up!). Besides, they maintain the tables and images without mistakes.
