Came across this article on Al Gore’s documentary, and why he chose to use Key Note. It’s an interesting read. It’s revealed in the article that Gore was able to tailor his presentation to suit different audiences. I don’t know too much about the program, but to be able to do this is quite remarkable. The article states: “He decided he wanted to talk for 40 seconds instead of five, he had that control. He could go forward or return to a previous point if he wanted to. Had we gone away from Keynote, we would never have had the versatility that we were able to have.”

Also, if any of you are planning to use to integrate some of the technology applications we have learned via this course, though a Mac based platform, then you might be interested in registering for Apple Canada’s “School Night at the Apple Retail Store” program. It basically lets your class come into their store, and exhibit their apple induced technology in the classroom presentations. The added incentive is that you will receive a one year one to one training sessions at the Apple Store.
