Notes to self as I try and teach myself to teach remotely. See More lockdown learning<\/a> for some sort of background.<\/em><\/p>\n

I remember when Apple Keynote came out I really liked it. For me the interface was simpler than PowerPoint and the files took less space. Now I am making a daily PowerPoint for our class meeting I’ve notice the file size situation is reversed. Exporting a keynote to PowerPoint is resulting in a smaller file.
\nI am still using Keynote as I am quicker and happier with the simpler UI.<\/p>\n

For our meetings I am making, for me, quite long, 20 – 40 slide presentation. I get the impression that leaving out transitions and keeping them simple speeds things up. Pupils sometime get a blank screen, some of them have found that opening the chat and closing it sorts that out. I guess forces a screen refresh.<\/p>\n

I try to keep the meeting moving along, were are doing an hour a day, covering a few different things each day. Given primary, age 8-11, I can’t expect a lecture to work. Getting the pupils to respond with voice as much as possible. Sometimes in turn, sometimes fire-at-will.<\/p>\n

I am only getting around half my class of 24 turning up most days and imaging this would be more difficult with a class of 30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
