Keynote is the iPad app that PC users know as PowerPoint. It is a powerful that app that works well for both teachers and students.

Since the use of the iPad will be new to many of the students, it might be a good idea to create a template for the first project. Once students understand its potential and feel comfortable in creating their own presentations, you could just give them the assignment criteria and rubric and allow for their own creativity to take flight.

One important piece to remember in having students create presentations from sources they find on the internet is the importance of citing sources - both information sources and image sources. Simply copying and pasting information and images from the internet is not good practice and in fact, constitutes plagiarism and copyright infringement. Creating a text box on each page prior to choosing material allows for easier insertion of the URL.
