I think that Sway would be useful in the classroom for presentations. It would be helpful for students who need guidance or an outline when creating a presentation. I do like that you are able to collaborate with others on a presentation. I liked using Sway, but I felt limited in some of the customization. It was nice to have different templates and styles to choose from, but I felt that I wasn’t really able to make adjustments or customize within a given style. I can see giving this tool as an option for students to use, but I’m not sure I would recommend it.

I agree about what you said about the limits to the customization. Your idea to use it as a way to outline for something could be useful for some types of projects. Overall I would agree that it wouldn’t be out of the question to use but that it would not be the first thing I would use.
Nice to hear your experience growing up in Vancouver. I agree with your assessment of Sway. Always a trade off between ease of use and customization. Kudos picking the sideways delivery.
