allows you to launch a live session
or self-paced presentation with
your students.

Go to “My Library.”
2.
Publish an existing presentation.
3.
Think about whether you want your students to give your
lesson as a “Live Session” where you control the pace of
the lesson and what appears on your students
’
devices,
or in “Homework Mode” where students navigate a lesson
at their own pace.
4.
Launch the presentation as a Live Session or Homework.
(Homework is a Premium Feature.)
5.
Experience the presentation live by partnering up and
presenting to each other. You will be able to practice
“going live” with a presentation as well as experience it
from your students

perspective in this activity.

fi lter reports or download data
into a .pdf or .csv fi le for further

Click on the “Reports” tab from the home screen to view
the progress of your students.
