Using Keynote remote for Student Led Conferences

A great little app to have on the ipod touch/ipad is Keynote Remote. This app allows you to take control of keynote presentations by pairing your device with the computer that has the presentation. By simply putting in a 4 digit code, it uses blue tooth to pair the device with the computer.

For the recent Student Led conferences, students prepared Keynote presentations about their learning. Students added presenter notes to their slide show (which could be visible on their ipod touch but not the actual presentation) to help guide their presentation. This made for really smooth and natural deliveries of their presentation rather than have students read every word on their Keynotes.

Here's a quick video of it in action (sorry for poor sound quality)
