1/8/2024 0 Comments Deckset presentation![]() I have created a macro that runs the Shortcut when it connects to my audio interface, something I already do when plugging into the USB C dock at the front of the room. My current preference is to use Keyboard Maestro, another great automation tool for the Mac. I can trigger this Shortcut in the menu bar, by a keystroke, a button in my Obsidian Daily Note (using the Buttons and Obsidian Shortcuts Launcher community plugins). One of the benefits of writing my daily agenda in plain text is that the same data can be viewed as a beautifully formatted note in Obsidian on the iPad, while looking like a presentation on the Mac using Deckset. Obsidian allows me to create a template for my Daily Note that I customized to show the school schedule, an embedded Daily Agenda note (which is the same data that feeds the Deckset presentation), and an area for taking notes and processing tasks. Opens my Daily Note in Slide Over using the Obsidian app.I depend on this informally collected data when entering weekly grades. I created this template in OmniGraffle and draw on it with Apple Pencil to take notes about students. Opens a seating chart document in GoodNotes on the right side of the screen.This action opens a specific playlist of scores I need for class. Opens forScore on the left side of my screen for sheet music.In Rehearsal Focus, my iPhone homescreen shows me education apps, an OmniFocus Perspective widget including school-related tasks, and a music widget to see the current playing track. The digital watch face helps me accurately interpret awkward end times like 10:13am at a glance. Sets my watch face to a Siri Watch Face which shows me a linear card-view of the start/end times of my classes (which are in my calendar) as well as alarms to help me end class on time.Shuffles a Music playlist of concert band repertoire through the speakers while students enter.Opens Tonal Energy Tuner/Metronome app, to play through the speakers.Better Touch Tool action: initiates the Deckset keyboard shortcut to run the Daily Agenda file in presentation mode so that my students can see what we are doing that day.Opens Deckset (My lesson plan is in a Markdown file called Daily Agenda that can be both read in Obsidian on iPad and presented as a slide deck on Mac).Sets the computer output to my Scarlet Solo audio interface (which outputs to the speakers in the room) and the volume of my computer to 50%. ![]() Opens Farrago (which includes warmup play-alongs).Closes apps with sensitive data so students don’t see them on screen.Next the shortcut looks to see which device it is being run from to determine which set of actions should take place.Once run, an action from the time tracking app Timery starts logging a timer I use to track teaching hours.This means that running the shortcut on one device effectively runs it on all of them simultaneously. In the Shortcuts app, under the Automation tab, I have an automation set up that will run this shortcut when a device kicks into Rehearsal Focus Mode. ![]()
