Abstract
Presenting results at the end of lab can enhance student understanding and provide opportunities for
immediate assessment. When students know they will have to present, they are more likely to reflect on
what they're doing, ask questions, and consider how best to communicate their findings. During
presentations, the instructor can immediately identify misconceptions and assign grades. With brief
training, students can use iPads to videotape, photograph, and/or draw lab procedures, then convey
experimental results and conclusions in one concise presentation. During this workshop, attendees learned
to use a presentation app, performed a quick lab activity, and created their own presentations.
