You will have two separate windows when you present: A Teacher Dashboard and a Student View.

** IT IS BEST TO USE EXTENDED MODE ON YOUR COMPUTER WHEN PRESENTING! **

For interactive slides, you will see an individual response for each student here on your dashboard.

You can also anonymously show responses to the class, lock all of the screens, or pose a new question using these buttons.

My favorite feature is self-paced mode. I turn this on once I am done with my lesson, and it allows my students to go back through the presentation at their own pace and get the notes they need. They can go back and respond to interactive questions if they were unable to finish earlier.
