Your a Jedi! Well, almost.

If you have an Ipad or Android tablet, or a phone with either one, you need to download a power point remote! There are a lot of free options that you can then upgrade to more features if you enjoy it. Most of these products show the slides on the top half of the screen and your notes in the bottom half. I can't count the times that I had a great comment to go with a slide but forgot it when I made it to school. Its handy to be able to walk around the room, control the presentation and still have your notes. I guess you could carry a note pad and clicker…... but why? Set up sounds frightening for the uninitiated, but if you follow the designers instructions exactly its not so bad. They do require the install of software on your computer as well. If you are a heavy power point user then downloading one of these apps will change your life! Plus, if your slick then your students will think you used the Force to change the slide. Just search "power point remote" in your devices app store and get the free one with the best reviews!
