Here are a few options for your students and yourself if you're doing presentations:
PowToons: This is a fun presentation software that involves some animation. It takes a little bit to learn but most students can figure it out with little guidance. This is an app as well as a website.My Tutorial Sheet: Here
Video Tutorials: Here
Prezi: This is pretty popular here at the middle school. This lets you be emerged in an image, zipping around, zooming in and out, etc. Or, moving around a general space with traditional presentation circles or squares. This is an app and a website (prezi.com).

Google Slides: This is the powerpoint substitute for Google. You can access this from the Google Drive. It is very popular with the elementary students as well as sixth graders.
Emaze: This is a flashier program that lets your students choose different styled templates. I was just introduced to this so am still working on a tutorial for it but this is an example of one I made:
An example of Emaze: https://www.emaze.com/@AIZROCRR/molly-art
Your students could use this template for their own projects, adding more text or less images too. I saw this template more as a portfolio option however could see it used to present all sorts of things. For example, if your student was studying animals they could do a whole gallery on that animal like we were touring a zoo.
There is also a "newspaper" template that is pretty great. You can add photos/videos etc.
