It is often said that before one can really compose a beautiful piece of music, one must be proficient in their chosen instrument. For those of us who love to share what we do through presentations, both live, and more and more now, online, getting our message across is much easier when we know our chosen medium more thoroughly. The ITI is about education, and for better or for worse, educators rely on presentation software to share their ideas. Until 2003, for 99% of the educators that meant Power Point. But then there was Keynote from Apple Computer. As with most things Apple, the late Steve Jobs’ envisioned Keynote more as an instrument for creativity and communication; not a tool. For the last 10 years, I have had the privilege of writing a column for Forum Implantologicum on Keynote, sharing tips and tricks gleaned over the years. This webinar aims to bring to life selected portions of a decade’s worth of exploring Keynote as an instrument for expanding your creativity in the composition of your educational experiences. The concepts presented will be applicable across other platforms so no one should feel excluded.  

Educational Objectives

Participants will walk away with a better understanding of:

·      The development of Keynote software and its basic functionality

·      Envisioning the “Flow” of your presentation as it is being composed

·      Slide masters and simplification of your workflow

·      How to think “Cinematically” in laying out the elements of your slides
