How to make an awesome Keynote presentation

Keynote is an awesome way to present your learning. Just like the tips you learned about creating a good visual, there are number of tips to help make yours a good one.

Transitions

• Only use transitions that make sense or add to your message/topic (eg. don’t use flames for something about computers)
• Two maximum (unless you can justify a reason why you need more)
