Want to provide extra help to students without exhausting yourself? Use FirstClass documents to create presentations for tutorials that students can access on their own time.
9203_31709_1.png Example
John Smith is a teacher at Avalon Academy. He has students in his class whose first language is not English, some of whom have a difficult time writing essays. This inspired John to create a tutorial to remind students about how to write a good essay.
To create the tutorial:
1         He selects File > New > New Presentation within a class folder.
2         He adds content as desired, using formatting and graphics.

To add a new page, he generates a page break.
Students can access the tutorial at their own convenience. Here are a couple of snaps from the tutorial that John created.
