Video Presentations
Use multimedia applications to make video presentations.
There are several great tools besides PowerPoint for creating presentations. Multimedia tools allow you to incorporate images, video, and audio into a complete stand-alone presentation.
The 3 apps shown below can be added to your existing AISD Google Drive account. Here's how to add them to a Google Drive.

Guiding Questions:
Graphics
- Did I choose appropriate images to reflect my topic/subject matter?
- Do I have variety in my images?
- Have I edited video clips to cut out "down time" and maintain a steady pace?
- Have I used pan and zoom features to add a sense of movement to still images? (add interest, focus the audience)
Design
- Does my use of background images and overall color scheme support my topic without distracting?
- Is my text font legible? Did I use consistent font(s)? (try not to use more than 3 fonts)
- If I used transitions, are they too distracting or do they help move the story forward?
Audio
- If I made a voice track, is it clear and easy to understand?
- Is my background music appropriate to the theme of my topic?
- Are the sound levels comfortable and clear without distracting?
