Sway is a microsoft free online presentation and storytelling app. I had a play last here when it first came up and found it quite user friendly. Since then, the sway team have been busy putting up examples and the examples offered are now more varied and interesting.
Although not the best example (it is structured as a scroll down) the content in this sway on the future of education is thought provoking.
Resources are now up for educators in the form of a sway, plus microsoft office has resources here and here as well providing examples for use of sway.
There is a positive review from Australian teachers blog and jonathanwylie has a tutorial with examples.
In my own context, sway represents an opportunity to showcase ones work or for students to compile multimedia content. Sway is generally easy to use and hows promise but requires time to learn. As with other presentation tools, it is important to 'storyboard' before embarking on forming the resource.
