I'm very impressed with Empressr http://www.empressr.com/ as a presentation tool and look forward to using with groups. There is no way of inviting others to edit but we can get round this by using a group generic account as we do for some projects. We will be able to invite others to view and the presentations can be printed. There is and option for uploading a MS PowerPoint file which can then be edited in Empressr and that's handy. I tried uploading one of my older presentations as a trial and found that I can also embed in my post and website.

Some of our students worry about posting their photos on social networks and so we have been checking out some alternatives. We really like ClayYourself and found it really easy and fun to use.
