Four Ideas for How To Use Google Slides
Presentations Collaborations
Interactions Publishing
PRESENTATIONS
Using shapes, animations and image manipulation, Slides allows you to create a moving Comic Strip. See this example from Eric Curts to make more sense.
COLLABORATION
Slides provides the means to give feedback during the editing stage, as well as critique of ideas and information.
Iron Chef lessons allow students to form different groups and take on different roles
Using hyperlinks, you are easily able to make a Choose Your Own Adventure story.
INTERACTION
Another interactive creation is a game. An example is Eric Curts template for Jeopardy.
Whether it be a newsletter or an eBook, Slides offers the means to easily publish to the world.
PUBLISHING
COLLABORATING
Read through the different ideas included in Alice Keeler’s crowdsourced document. Add a comment or idea of your own.
MAKE AN
ANIMATION
Look at Alannah King’s explanation of animations with Slides. Have a go at copying one of Dan Huddell’s ‘Athletic Nerds’ to make your own animation.
