I set the opacity of this layer to 90% so that I could see the traces of the images on the layer underneath. I created a layer on top of my "slide", and I flood-filled this layer with white. I used an idea from children’s activity books: instead of drawing, you can use the eraser to make content appear, like the way you would scratch off black paint to reveal colours. I pre-drew my one-slide talking points on a single layer so that I wouldn’t have to count on thinking, talking, and drawing all at the same time.

It was much more fun and much more flexible than annotating in Microsoft Powerpoint. =) I’ll post a link to the recording when it’s up. I think I’ll do this for as many presentations as I can get away with. I gave a presentation using Autodesk Sketchbook Pro and desktop-sharing in Lotus Live, and it worked out really well.
