Keynote for Teachers

It can be difficult to teach the type of lessons all through the school year. Particularly when the students get that look in their eyes and motions of their bodies that say, "Oh no, not this again."

Keynote can help teachers redesign their lessons and presentations with a few simple effects and multimedia.

Start with blank Keynote slides and then begin adding images and videos that compliment the topic or lesson. Focus on finding things that make the presentation pop, and then drag and drop them into any slide. 

Click the Inspector button to open options to resize, rotate, add shadowing and reflections, or adjust the opacity of any images to make them look professional. 

Once videos are on the slide you want, adjust the the automatic start and stop time or set it up to start and stop with a click in order to introduce the clip.

When images and videos are in place, write short text descriptions and expand on it during the lesson to keep the classroom engaged.

More ideas, information and how-to's can be found on the Apple website.
