On behalf of Team 1676, NJ Regional Chairman's this year, I can tell you that this is pretty much exactly how we did it. We had pictures scrolling for about 5 seconds each, you'd be surprised how long that lasts. And we spoke, and allowed them to look a the pictures throughout. They went chronologically with our speech, however, in some cases, the pictures may have gotten ahead or behind us, but we did not want the distraction of clicking for words during the speaking.
Title page and picture. ::Click::
Speaker number one's pictures went and when complete... deep breath by all while speaking one clicked the computer.
Speaker number two's pictures went... so on and so forth until the end.
During the speaking, we handed them our essential packages during our speaking, while the pictures continued to scroll on our topics of discussion...
It just saved the distractions for us speakers of the computer. We didn't have to break from a train of thought to fiddle wit the computer. Meanwhile, the judges seemed to enjoy the pictures without having to spend to much time distracted by it.
