Featured Sites, Week of June 17

I already found some sites for week of June 17 to explore. Look around the site and let us know what you find. I am going to explore Knovio, a site I browsed around before, used a couple times, but have not used again. Now, I want to try it further. The site lets you upload a PowerPoint and turn it into a video.
