Unlike PowerPoint, it is primarily for presenting ideas onscreen rather than to an audience. Tutorials, topic introductions and interactive reports are the sort of things to which it lends itself. Sway presentations are backed up to the cloud, and can be easily shared or embedded in websites. http://bit.ly/2NxWs9X [http://education.utsa.edu/images/uploads/sway_qr.png] | | View All Educator Apps<http://education.utsa.edu/app_week/>[Facebook]<https://api....
