Scate, a Michigan firm (Orion Township), has a great product out called “Ignite”. Ignite is an application to help a user create presentations, podcasts, demos, eLearning, quizzes, and mashups from Powerpoints, screen captures, HD Video, digital pictures, voice, and music.
In other words, Ignite is great for everything from business marketing presentations to school presentations by both students and teachers. It helps you take a Powerpoint presentation, some video, along with some music, and so forth, and stitch it all together in tidy file. Very handy application for lots of folks, and especially helpful to students.
With that in mind, the folks at Skate is now offering this application, Ignite 4 Standard Edition, free to Michigan students. The normal sales price is $199, so this really is quite an offer.
