Keynote Live

Keynote Live is a feature in the latest version of Keynote that allows you to share a presentation directly to multiple devices at once rather that on a single screen. In other words, each student in your class could watch a the same Keynote presentation simultaneously on each of their iPads.
You must have the latest version of Keynote and have an Apple ID, (iCloud account). The district is working on getting EUSD Apple accounts for all teachers, but for now you will need to use a private account. Students should also install Keynote on their iPads for best performance.
Keynote Live can share slideshows to viewers anywhere using the web.
