Detailed Walkthrough

Sam uses Lucidspark to put together his presentations.  He has a whole series of instructional videos that he uses with his philosophy students on his YouTub channel which highlights his use of Lucidspark in action.  You can check it out here. 

 

He starts by creating simple, good-looking slides that effectively present the content he is teaching.

After going through the presentation slides, Sam adds their essays directly onto the same board.  This allows him to highlight sections of the essay and provide direct feedback to the student using the sticky notes feature.

Lastly, he uses Lucidspark to create interactive diagrams and concept maps  to help students  process and remember all of the dense information he is teaching.

In summary Sam loves using Lucid for his presentations and interactive lessons  because it is intuitive and allows him to organize all of his instructional material in one place.
