r i is an e z enjoyable alternative to Pwr no t which presents work on one large canvas and
allows viewers to zoom in and out to follow a reading path. Primary teachers will use this tool on an interactive whiteboard for joint constructions of presentations with the whole class. Alternatively, they will register for a cheap annual subscription to a cybersafe, secure EDU version of P

Parental permission is required for students below 13 years of age. Remind students not to include their surname in their user name. Students may not publish identifying details or images of themselves or other students in public contexts. NB The default setting for P ones for this reason.

• Cybersafety: Images of any students should only be used with parental permission in public presentations by teachers. Find out from school records which students in your classes are under a media ban, generally due to a custody dispute. In addition, check parental blanket media permissions lodged with the school to see if any student is not covered or if any parent has refused permission. Provide alternative tasks for these students.
• Copyright: Remind students to use their own photos or Creative Commons images. The source URL and creator’s name should be cited if the image is not their own. Explain that, for cybersafety, a name may be a pseudonym. • Modelled and guided practice: Login to show students how to create a Peirz
presentation. In Explore, show samples:

r i demonstration video e z
tutorials. Jointly construct a presentation, choose the colour and font first, then add all the text (thinking about the size of major headings, subheadings and information), then images/videos. Students can then start grouping, layering, framing and adding shapes to make the presentation more effective.
• Finally, students need to plot the path of the presentation. Select PATH and click on each section of the presentation sequentially from start to finish (So they can organise the presentation to show page 1 through to the last page). This is where students require most assistance, especially if they have grouped and layered parts of their presentation. Once the path has been plotted, get the students to watch the presentation in full screen and see if their presentation is the way they wanted. They can always go back and alter the path. Students share the URL of their completed presentation.
