How to create online presentations that holds a kid’s attention
Kids have a very short attention span. If you are a teacher, you must be having firsthand experiences on how difficult it is to teach kids, especially over the internet.
Since my wife is a teacher, I get to experience this every day. One reason for this is the fact that kids have a very limited attention span. They tend to wonder instead of focusing on the lesson which is in-front of them.
For this reason if you are teaching online, you need to make sure you make lessons that holds a kids attention. This is specially important in times like these, because most of the teaching is done through the internet.
Powerpoint presentations tend to be boring, and there is no way to make them more interesting. In this post I’m going to talk about how you can use Tuti to create beautiful presentations that hold your kid’s attention.
If you don’t know Tuti provides varieties of tools for teachers, educators or students. One tool which Tuti provides is an online presentation builder. Where you can create interactive online presentations.
On Tuti presentations don’t consists of slides, the slides are called annotations. All of your annotations are displayed on one page. You can simply view an annotation by clicking on it.
Some important features on Tuti presentations include,
- You can create beautiful online presentation and include images, videos and links
- You can save your presentation online
- Easily share your presentation with others by sharing a link, email or by sharing a presentation code like you do on Zoom

Step 4
