The folks at Drop.io have just released another great, free, service, called Present.io. Present.io allows users to set up a free webinar or video conference with just two clicks.
Just like with Drop.io there is no registration required to use the service and there is no software to install. To use Present.io simply create a drop and share the drop's unique url (and optional password) with whomever you would like to participate in the conference. When you're ready to start your conference click "start presentation." If you create the conference you are the administrator and have full access to show the other participants files, links, photos, and any other media you're using on your computer.
The video embedded below gives a great demonstration of Present.io in action.
Applications for Education
Present.io could be a great, free, tool for conducting online courses and online tutoring sessions. Because Present.io is entirely web-based you can use any computer connected to the Internet to conduct your conference.

Wow. I just uploaded a pptx to presentio, it is amazing! And simple to use. No login required. The in-line viewers are very very useful. Way way better than Google Doc's "View Together" mode in presentations. "View Together" essentially offers the same basic functionality as presentio, but lacks the support for media (audio/video) files and does not feature "free teleconferencing". Also, to use the "View Together" in Google Docs, the attendees need to sign-up for a Google Account.
However, I would be more comfortable with storing confidential data in Google Apps than in presentio. For e.g. I would never upload a presentation containing Intellectual Property to presentio :)
Anyone wanna guess how long before Google Doc catches up with presentio?
