Presentation Tools

There are many times throughout the year that students are asked to present their learning in some form.  Getting students going on Google Slides is a great way to have students present, but adding options to what students can use to present can engage students and bring out their creative spirit.  Some students will even surprise you with the amazing presentations they are able to create.

Please reference the list below to see some of the most used tools in Burton classrooms to add variety to student presentations:

Google Slides

Purpose:  Google Slides is a great starting point for having students present their learning to the rest of the class.  Although the features are more limited than Keynote there is a distinct advantage with the ability to have student groups work together on the same slideshow.  An entire class could work on the same slideshow and each be assigned a slide to share about a common theme.
