Video: How I make my power point presentations interactive by putting them into Lucidspark

Detailed Walkthrough

I wanted to take one of the presentations I already had and make it more interactive, so I decided to put it into Lucidspark.  I started by downloading my presentation as a PDF and then importing it into Lucidspark using the “import” icon from the Lucidspark toolbar.

Once I had the presentation in Lucidspark, I spaced out each of the slides, resized each slide to make them a bit bigger, added a frame around each slide, and then used the frames to create a presentation path.  Then, I used Lucidspark’s quick tools to add sticky banks and sticker banks to a few slides to give opportunities to respond and engage with the content on those slides. 

I also wanted to divide the participants into groups for a smaller discussion.  I created two breakout boards and added images of the topic cards that I wanted the participants to comment on and discuss.

By adding these elements into Lucidspark, I was able to actively engage the participants in my presentation, rather than just talking through each of my slides.
