Having Fun with Keynote on iPad

I have been using Keynote almost exclusively for presentation.On Thursday, May 1, 2014 I used my MacBook Pro to display the Keynote presentation and my iPad Air as the remote. Of course I used the “doodling” and virtual laser pointer features. I had great feedback from the audience who never seen presentation like this.
