Google Slides is my favorite of all Google Workspace as, in my opinion, it’s the most fun and versatile. It can be used for so much more than presenting in Education: drag and drop activities, animated stories, choose your own adventure, interactive notebooks, collaborative notebooks, digital galleries or portfolios, meme creation, gif creation, game-show style games, embedded video lessons with interactive assessments... and I can go on! Reach out if you need help with any of the aforementioned.

But, what one must remember when using Slides is to design them so they’re aesthetically pleasing and not distracting. A clean look with consistent fonts, colors, sizing, and spacing helps students to learn better and not be distracted by visual clutter. Carefully planned animations can help with lesson points, too! Check out this 5-min tutorial to get the basics down. Consider even creating your own Slides template!

🔊 Select to Speak Feature on Chromebooks

For students who are struggling or beginning readers, enabling Select to Speak on Chromebooks is an awesome accessibility feature. Students simply select any text online and hit the search button 🔎 + s and the text is read aloud. Even better, the text is framed and each word is highlighted as it's being read to allow students to follow. There are several ways to customize the voice and colors, too. View this tutorial to see how to access and utilize it.
