Classroom Considerations
In order to create one continuous presentation (without needing to click to go to the next slide), you can simply complete all strokes on one slide. The ability to erase all strokes makes this a very viable option, depending on how self-sufficient you want the presentation to be. For kids presenting, consider having them export the presentation as a PDF for assessment, which they can e-mail to you using the export function. Depending on your preferencings, the settings menu allows for more customized stylus and presentation options.
