RESOURCE DESCRIPTION
Give a brief description of the technology/resource.

This tool allows users to make their own presentation with cool add-ins from almost any file type. The tool allows users to upload
Adobe PDFS, to photos, and even music from Spotify to make presentations interesting and fun again. It comes either in app form
or on the website, which makes it accessible to anyone who is connected to the internet.

INTEGRATION IDEA - PRESENTATION

How might you use this resource in a lesson plan to promote students presentation/speaking/communication skills?

This resource can allow lesson plans for teachers to be more engaging and exciting. Being able to include almost any type of files
in this presentation allows for more accessibility and less time improvising when a file is not properly opening. The feature is neat
for students because it allows to share with anyone within the school (if a school plan is purchased), just like google slides or
Powerpoint, anyone can edit and add their own content. The website and tool itself lets teachers and students be creative in how
they want to present their information. It is a good collaborative tool for both students and teachers who wish to present
information in a new, fun way.

This website seems like a 3 for me. It transforms a lesson from a boring lecture to something interactive for students and
teachers. Though it is possible to function without it, it creates an environment where students can be more engaged with the
content being taught. There are also many standards the resource aligns with, making it a valuable tool in education. Overall, its a
neat tool that should be utilized in schools more.
