The Abridge Academy slides have lots of useful tools to help you in class – from annotation tools to navigation systems!

Hi Katie
If, for example, you are on the new words slide, and the teacher wants to open the overview of all the slides, does the new words slide remain on the screen while the teacher looks at the overview?
Hi Deborah, thanks for the question! Students will see exactly what you see on the screen. So if you switch to the overview of the slides, the students will see this too (some teaching platforms, e.g. Zoom, have the ability to “pause” screensharing temporarily – you can use this to subtly keep the previous screen showing for them, but most teaching platforms do not have this feature). If you don’t want to show students the overview screen of all the slides, you can instead use the three dots in the bottom right corner to open the options and type in the specific slide you wish to jump to (this requires you to have planned ahead of time the slide numbers though, or have them also open in another tab for reference). In my experience though, students really don’t mind a few seconds of you flicking through the slides 🙂 ~Katie
