Microsoft Sway- An alternative to Powerpoint

Happy New Year!  Are you looking for a different way to have your students present their information?  Tired of Powerpoint?  Microsoft Sway is the way to go!  Sway makes it easy for professional use for presenting information, but is also very user-friendly for students to create great looking presentations quickly and efficiently.

1.  Check out these Sway examples recently created by students in the district:

2.  To get to Sway, simply click on Office 365 in your bookmarks, find it in any of the eLibrary sites, or click here!  You will use your Office 365 credentials to sign in, so for most people your log-in will look something like this:  E#####@psd.pennridge.org.  Your password is the same you use for your computer password.

3. Here is a 2 minute video of the basics of Sway, if you are interested.  And as always, I'd be happy to share more with you and/or your students at any time!

Have a great day!
