Hi There! Did I get your attention? I sure hope so, because,
let’s face it, no one likes a boring presentation, and teachers are increasingly
having to compete with Netflix, YouTube, and gaming apps to get the attention
of their students. They are having to
consistently rely on more interesting and engaging presentations, presentations
that are similar to what children have now become accustomed; teachers and
other professionals are having to go beyond the basic PowerPoint or Google
Slides presentations and must keep up with the ever changing technology trends
to remain relevant. In order to remain competitive, teachers and students,
as well as adult professionals, must keep abreast of presentation apps if they
are to develop marketable technological skills.
Who is there to support these teachers, students, and
professionals alike? The library tech, of course. In today’s techie world, the library tech
needs to be a media specialist. Not only
do we need to know how to use the school’s old projector, we must also know how
to use apps and smart phones and Youtube, etc., and to become knowledgeable of
presentation apps that both students and teachers will be using in order to
help them facilitate teaching instruction and student learning.
Whether you need a presentation tool to market library offerings/events
or to assist teachers, students, or professionals in their own presentations,
posted below are several apps for you to learn about and explore:
