What it is: Presefy is a new tool that lets you present with your mobile device wirelessly. The best part: those attending the presentation can view your presentations from their own web browsers (on a mobile device or a computer), and follow along using your unique “channel.” Upload pdf or ppt(x) files, at the moment those are the two supported file types.
How to integrate Presefy into the classroom: Presefy would obviously be wonderful to use when you are presenting at a conference or to a large group, but I also love the implications in the classroom and school setting. Have you ever been sitting in a conference or a session where your vantage point stinks? You go right ahead and check out because you can’t see what the speaker is referring to anyway. Imagine having the ability to follow along on your own device. Now you are more engaged than ever! The same is true for students, having something on a projector for all to see is great, but if you have a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) or a one-to-one setting, Presefy is a great way to share. Students can follow along on their own devices. Added benefit: now there doesn’t have to be a front of your classroom.
At Anastasis, we don’t have clear fronts of the classroom. This is intentional. We want to be able to share and discuss in a variety of ways and locations. Presefy lets us do just that by taking away the need for everyone to be facing one direction, with one presenter at the front. Instead, the teacher can present and be a part of the discussion and conversation in a way that is more organic. Students can follow along on their own devices. Everyone has a front row seat. Everyone can see clearly and be part of the presentation. SO much better!
With Presefy you can broadcast and run your presentation right from your mobile device. You even have access to see your notes and jump to any slide. Additional features are coming soon including the ability to poll your audience, ask questions, make notes, etc.
Tips: Right now, you are limited to having two presentations uploaded at a time. If you invite a friend to join Presefy, you will get to upload additional presentations.
