Presentations

Google Slides has been in my toolbox since last spring when my daughter had an assignment to do a PowerPoint presentation, but she has a Chromebook, so her first thought was, Oh, I guess I can't do this. Too bad! But no! We messed around until we figured out how to do everything with Slides (which wasn't hard at all), and we both learned something. 

I had heard good things about HaikuDeck recently when some co-workers were putting together a presentation for CYPD. (Not all committee members were sold on Prezi, apparently, leading them to look at alternatives, and luckily we have 23 Mobile Things helping us out again!) I loved the weeding presentation, and I learned a few things there too, like not letting your emotions interfere when it comes time to weed--that's really tough. However, it does not appear that HaikuDeck is available for Android. I checked the website--it's for iOS, or you can use it on the web through Chrome, Safari, or Firefox. So one more option to teach the kids and myself! But not really a "mobile thing" for me.
