Microsoft Sway is an excellent tool for creating tutorials because it allows you to insert many different forms of multimedia and use them to customize your final product. You can include descriptive text, instructional videos, screenshots, and images to help students clearly understand what you are trying to teach them.
- [Instructor] In this video,…let's take a look at what a Sway is…as well as what the Sway interface looks like.…Now, I'm currently on the online version of Sway,…which you can get to by navigating to sway.office.com.…Now, on this page, I do have some Sways already created.…Some of these are ones I created,…other ones are ones that are examples…that were in my account by default from Microsoft,…and you'll likely have some of these sample ones…in your account as well.…Now, what does a Sway look like?…I'm glad you asked.…
Let's take a look.…If we click on one here,…it will open up and we'll first see the storyline.…The storyline is where the creator of the Sway…enters in all of the contents…so here would be any images, the texts,…they embedded something here,…again, we have more images and texts.…Now, if I want to see what this Sway looks like,…we can go on the upper-right corner and press Play.…So, now I can go through this one.…This one happens to be a slide based one.…So, in the bottom right here,…I'm going to click to advance it.…
