Have you tried this llovely new Microsoft product Microsoft Sway? Microsoft’s Sway, an online tool for creating presentation documents, is now generally available to the public. Previously, a waiting list was in place. What makes Sway particularly interesting is that it doesn’t have traditional files, like the original Office suite. So it was built for the cloud! Like PowerPoint it is a presentation tool but quite different!
Some of our South Africa Microsoft MIEExpert teachers have been creating Sways so I thought I would collect them here for you to see. (I have had to reduce the width of these Sways so they fit into the blog post width!)
1. Linda Foulkes – Sway One Note Love
Linda says, “This is my Sway entry for the#OneNoteSwayLove contest!”Linda used a Sway to present information on One Note

The interesting thing about these cloud-based products is that you can easily embed them into your blog or website post. Here is Linda’s Sway
2. Warren Sparrow ‘One Note’
Warren says about his Sway, “My Sway about OneNote. I hope that you all enjoy it. I needed to install the app on the Office 365 cloud. For those that have not done this yet, it is really easy and took me less than 10 minutes!!”
