- 1. GoogleSlides Basics, Ideas, & Practice
- 2. GoogleSlides:TheBasics As we’ve already mentioned, Slides is Google’s answer to PowerPoint, Keynote, etc. Like Docs, it is web-based, free to use, and has most (or even more) of the features of any other popular slide presentation program. Things you need to know: Variety of themes, templates, and hundreds of fonts You can embed video, animations, and more Access your presentations from any device, anywhere, even if you’re offline Saves automatically Works with Powerpoint, and vice versa You can present in a variety of places without wires Take a few minutes to explore at https://www.google.com/slides/about/ and then come on back for some great ideas of how to use Slides in the classroom.
- 3. GoogleSlides:IdeasforUse Of course, one of the best features of Slides is your ability to collaborate but we’ll get to that later! Here are some ideas for your classroom: Create a class thank you presentation where each student gets to write their message of thanks on a slide - email it instead of putting all those cards in the mail Screencast a Slides presentation to create the perfect flipped classroom lesson Add images and text to slideshows to create a simple story for your lesson or let students do the same to show you their comprehension of a story Create, or have students create, a virtual vocabulary list Screenshot scenes from Google Earth to take a virtual tour or field trip Create a storyboard to brainstorm a writing project Create a visual outline of a chapter
- 4. GoogleSlides:Practice We’re not going to be creating a Slides presentation for this course but later in the course, you will collaborate with your colleagues on a Slides presentation so pay attention to the helpful hints that follow. Creating a Slides presentation is very similar to creating a PowerPoint. Follow the beginning instructions for creating a Doc (found in the course), just choose Slides from the drop down menu (seen here). You can choose a blank presentation and name your presentation in much the same way you did for Docs. A few more helpful hints follow to get you started.
