The best way to understand the presentation is to look at the presentation itself. Although it has been tweaked several times to customize the school/district experience, it always has an active learning component positioned using Slido every 10 -15 minutes. This draws the attendees into the story and forces them to interact with the story as I teach them the four lenses (framework for being a digital detective).
