Hi everyone, I'm Emma. And I'm going to explain today how to give an in-class presentation in MURAL. This is really great to do so that you aren't having to switch between the different platforms between PowerPoint and MURAL if you're wanting to kind of move throughout your class, switching back and forth from presenting and collaborating. So, the first thing you'll need to do to present in MURAL is first export your slides from whatever platform you created them in. You could create them in MURAL, but if you created them in PowerPoint or something like that, then you want to export those sides as images as a PNG or JPEG file. Once you have those exported, you will want to upload them to the mural. So you can either drag and drop the file like I'm doing here. Or you could upload the file with this button, from your computer.

So now that you have the slides uploaded, you will want to add them to your outline. So you just right click on the slide and click, add to outline. You'll want to name the slide. Then you will do that for all of your slides. So now that you've added your sides to the outline, you're basically ready to present. The first thing that I suggest that you do before presenting though is summoning your students. It's a facilitation superpower by clicking your avatar at the bottom and clicking summon. This will bring all of your students to look where you're looking. And this will be really helpful when you're presenting to make sure that you don't lose your students along the way, and that they're really focusing on what you are showing them. All right? So once you have summoned everyone, then you'll want to go to the upper right corner and click presentation mode. This will make it so that it really feels as if you are presenting. And you're able to just click from slide to slide. So, you can just click next slide and it brings you along the path. So then that's how you present. And then when you're done, you can celebrate your presentation and you can exit out of presentation mode. So then you can start collaborating.

So, let's go over the process. Again, you'll want to start by exporting your slides as a JPEG or PNG. Then you'll upload your slides to the mural by either dragging and dropping them or using the upload button on the left sidebar. Then you'll right click and add your slides to the outline. You will go down to your avatar and summon everyone so that you can make sure everyone is looking right where you're looking at the mural. And then lastly, you'll use presentation mode to click through.
