ABSTRACT
Teachers need to communicate material effectively in a clear and engaging format. Many teachers use presentation software such as PowerPoint, Google Slides or Keynote to create and display educational content. These presentation products offer mobile companion applications (apps) designed to both sync with content on a second screen and add additional tools to navigate and interact with slides. In this paper, we conducted two exploratory studies to investigate the mobile digital presentation needs and current experience of K-12 teachers when using mobile companion apps. We identify that current solutions fall short of addressing these needs and suggest potential design implications to better align with the in-classroom experience. Findings suggest improvements could be made by allowing teachers to capture teachable moments-through text and annotations on slides-improving these.
