Teaching workflow

NotesPresenter helps teachers keep lesson notes, slide context, and pacing visible beside PowerPoint during class, remote lessons, or recorded lectures.
- Keep lesson prompts beside the current slide
- Share PowerPoint without showing private teaching notes

For teachers who need the lesson plan visible without showing it to students.
Keep prompts visible

Teach online privately
Share only the PowerPoint window in Zoom, Teams, or Meet so students see the lesson slides, not your notes.
Stay within the period
Use timing plans and pace status to keep a class, lecture, or recorded lesson from running long.
