Let's create a slideshow
Watch this tutorial on Google Slides (formerly Google Presentation).
- Check your email for an email telling you that I've shared a Google slideshow.
- Open the slideshow with Google Drive and the plus sign at the top left to create a new slide.
- Put your name at the top of the slide. Each participant will create their own slide telling how Google Slides could be used with a lesson you've already done or would like to do.
- Choose any layout or design you would like and feel free to browse the internet for a picture to add to your slide.
Collaborate
When all participants have added a slide, view the slideshow and add a comment using the comment feature on one or more of the slides that will either add to the idea of the slide, or note that you think it is a good idea.
Comments are a useful tool to gather feedback about or to collaborate on a Google presentation. Comments help you to keep track of the thoughts and edits people have for your presentation in a seamless, collaborative way.
You can leave comments for others to review, tag people in comments, respond to comments from the presentation or via email.
You can add a comment to a section of text, a table, or an image embedded in your Google presentation.
Highlight the item you’d like to comment on. You can comment at the object or slide level:
To comment on a shape, text box or other object highlight the shape.
To comment on a slide, select it in the list of slides on the left.
Go to the Insert menu, and select Comment. You can also use the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+M (PC) or Cmd+Alt+M (Mac) to insert a comment. Click Comment to add it to the presentation for your collaborators to see.
As you did with Google Docs, place this file in your Google Drive Training folder.
Return to your folder and share the folder with me.
Questions for discussion:
How could Google Slides change lesson planning?
How did the individual slides create accountability for each group member?
How can Google Slides change your classroom? How will you use it?
