The document outlines how to enhance presentations by transforming them into interactive discussions using Spiral. It describes the process of creating presentations with embedded discussion questions, sharing them in classrooms, and facilitating student engagement through anonymous comments. Teachers can manage discussions and highlight key ideas, fostering a collaborative learning environment.

1. How to turn your
presentation into a
conversation

2. “Let’s chat”
vs
“I’m going to stand and talk at
you for 30 minutes”
Which one catches your interest?

3. “Any questions?”
How many times have you
asked “Any questions?” but the
room remained silent?

4. At Spiral, we’ve built a
tool that sparks
conversation from your
presentations.
Here’s a run-through of how that works…

5. Create your presentation with Spiral
Presentations can be made using text, images and videos.
Discussion questions can be added to key slides in preparation
for lessons.

6. Share your presentation in a lesson
Slides are shared on the whiteboard. Discussions can be
started from any slide to prompt students for their ideas to
spark a class discussion.

7. Start the discussion in your classroom
Students can see, and respond to, anonymous comments from
the class. The teacher can review students' comments on their
mobile device, starring good ideas and managing discussion
points.

8. Share discussion highlights
The teacher can pause the discussion to bring students’
attention back to the board – where high level ideas can be
celebrated, triggering a verbal discussion. Common
misconceptions can also be addressed.
