Adding Voiceover to Slides

Back to Google Projects.

After you put your slides together, you may want to add voiceovers to them.

Remember - If you add voiceover, you don't necessarily have to include all of the same text on each slide. Unless your teacher wants all the text to be displayed, use the slide to add visual interest and clarity to your spoken word.

This book was created by a 7th grader at Karrer Middle School. It was so beautiful that we wanted to be able to share it with a bigger audience.

The drawings were captured with an iPhone camera, cropped, then uploaded to Google Drive. Each picture was dropped into a new slide, and the author used Screencastify to create voiceover buttons. The arrows make it easier for students to navigate to the next page.

When Sharing a Google Project, you'll want to do 2 things.

1. Go to the File menu and select Publish to the Web. When the dialog box pops up, click on the Publish button. You'll be asked if you're sure you want to publish this selection - just click OK. Once you do that, you'll have an opportunity to copy the link. The link will go to your project in presentation mode so it'll look good and navigate correctly. Use that link as a way to show your project to others. (email it to someone, add it to a discussion post, put it in a Doc or Spreadsheet, add it to a Google Form...)

2. Use the Share button in the upper right-hand corner of the screen, and type your teacher's name into the box provided. This will allow your teacher to collaborate with you and give you feedback.
