Yesterday, I had to give a 20 minute presentation about how to be a good substitute teacher. The catch was that we had to present using only our own technology because we were in groups of four and not everyone could use the setup in the classroom. I wanted to be able to read my speaker notes on Google Slide but couldn't do it if my Chromebook screen was being used to show the slides. So I bought an app called Slides - Presentation Remote by demobo.com and used it to rehearse my presentation. It was amazing... at home. When I got to the University of Winnipeg, it didn't work. I called the IT department to help me figure it out and was told that the university doesn't allow the pairing of devices over their WiFi. I figured out a crude workaround and the presentation was really excellent but it could have been so much better if I wasn't tied to my laptop. I wanted to roam around and use huge arm gestures like Mr. Garvey does in the sketch, but unfortunately, that was off the table (like everything on Mr. Garvey's table when he gets really angry).
I was disappointed but I took my own advice and let it roll off my back like water off a duck, and was flexible like a good substitute teacher must learn to be. What you won't see or hear in the slideshow below are the awesome voices I used and the ukulele playing that my group was subjected to. Here's my slideshow. As always, I love to hear your feedback and constructive criticisms.
