Keynote

Introduction-

This program, a part of iWork, allows you or your students to make presentations which can be slide shows or self-paced. It allows students to demonstrate what they have learned or what they hope to learn in a lesson or a unit.

After watching the demonstration in class, do the tutorial & then the assignment.

Tutorial (my choices are in parentheses; you may choose something different)-

Start Keynote & pick a theme (Gradient). Open Safari to Google & choose images.
Click on Inspector at the top, click on Document (on the top left of the Inspector), under Presentation pull down & choose Hyperlinks only. This will allow the hyperlinks to guide the user.
Pick a fun, simple theme (Presidents).
Enter your search term into Google (presidents), pick one for the first page & drag it to the desktop.
If necessary, rename it with a simple, one-word name + the .jpg ending.
Drag it to where you want it on the slide.
Save your project to (Keynote1) on your disk.
Click on Shapes & choose the right arrow to go to the next page.
Make it smaller if you wish.
Click on Inspector & the Hyperlink button at the top, second from right
Click on Enable as a Hyperlink.
Click on Next Slide.
Click on the T (Text) and type in Home to provide a link back to the first page.
Size it & make it a hyperlink to page 1
Click again on Text & enter a brief, descriptive entry for your slide.
Click on New (+) and start the process over again.
Add a brief commentary on each page (aids understanding).
Do 5 pages in total, at least, with each page having a-

graphic
hyperlink to another page
hyperlink to the first page
a description

Be sure to save after each page.

Assignment-

Using the various toys available (or bring your own) create a new stack (Keynote2) which you might use in your class which contains-

at least 5 cards
with a new theme
at least one graphic & description/page
A self-paced button (hyperlink) to each page

Show me the results on your computer & tell me how you could use it in your class.
