More than a Presentation Tool: Using Google Slides with Interactivity

Session Description

Did you know that you can do so much more than just create a presentation with Google Slides? In this session we will explore basic features (commenting, images, themes), as well as some of the advanced tools of Google Slides (interactivity, embedding). We’ll discuss how to use Google Slides for both student and teacher creation. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced user, let’s take some time to learn, tinker and get started using Google Slides. Please note, this is not a “How To” session. Instead, this session is intended to inspire, motivate, and provide a range of ideas and uses for Google Slides.
