Purpose: This page serves as an introduction to digital presentations. It can be used before introducing one of the tools (such as Keynote) for a class project. There is an optional activity at the bottom.
1. Click HERE for the meaning of DIGITAL PRESENTATIONS.
Regardless of the tool used, a presentation is really more about the message, not the tool. The tool just reinforces the main points of your message with visuals & other elements. There are different types of presentations. They can be live or pre-made/pre-recorded, slides with or without voice, a screencast, video, animation, or an interactive board, etc.
2. Most digital presentations are in slideshow form. Examples of popular tools are Prezi, Power Point, Keynote, Google Slides, & OpenOffice. These are programs that can be installed on your computer, but also have moved toward being cloud-based.

Note to Teacher: Here are some helpful GUIDELINES you can download & print for students anytime they are using a digital presentation tool.
Important Safety Note: Any online service used by students age 12 or under must NOT require a login/account with their personal e-mail or information, according to the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule. Instead, if available, a teacher would need to create an account that allows safe/private login for students. Feel free to consult with your DTS.
