This is such a great resource and a wonderful video, Phillip!
So adaptable for any age range or context, with so many skills embedded in it! 🙌
How can we create opportunities for real-world engagement and deep learning within Keynote using video?
In this blog post I’m going to show you how to simulate the building of a TV remote control which links to a series of TV “channels”. Each TV screen or channel acts as a placeholder for literally any content. I recently ran this activity with year 1 & 2 students who were investigating older technologies and objects from decades past as part of a unit of study entitled, “Old and New”.
I’ve run this activity a number of times with students ranging from year one to year six and they really enjoy it.
Why it works…
Here are some ideas for creating some video content to appear on each TV channel…

Thanks Phill and Eoin. 🙏
What a great idea! Thanks for the super helpful video tutorial as well!
Thanks Jessica.
Phil, this is amazing!! What a great resource. I can’t wait to use it in the classroom. So many opportunities for use!
Love this idea. Hadn't thought about using this approach for Tv channels.
Cool idea Phill, thanks for sharing! 📺
Such a cool idea! Thanks for the detailed demo - students will love this! I could see this as a creative activity in a history class, each student responsible for a history story channel.
Thanks so much for sharing, Phil! We frequently use Keynote templates for our K-5 students in my school district, and this is such a unique idea!
Great simple activity Phil. There are so many possibilities and variations to this idea. Keynote really is a super app for creating engaging learning experiences for students.
