Final Argument was created with professional presenters in mind. The app incudes features that make interactive presentations easier by letting speakers adjust their presentations based on audience questions, creating new slides or moving to specific slides on the fly. Sounds a lot like a teacher presenting a lesson to a class! This is an impressive tool, but it’s not easy to learn. The developer’s website includes video tutorials and written instructions to show how to use Final Argument, but educators will need to spend quite a bit of time exploring and testing it, and then allow plenty of time to load slides and materials before using it in the classroom. Students will be engaged by the multimedia, and thanks to the versatility of the tool, educators can present in-depth information and be immediately responsive to learners. Unfortunately, the app does crash frequently, adding even more time to the already significant time commitment involved in creating a rich presentation.
