Choose Your Own Adventure

Back to Google Projects.

Most of you are familiar with standard, linear Google Slideshows. That means that the end user goes from slide 1 to slide 2 to slide 3…

You can create a non-linear slideshow by using hyperlink buttons. That allows the end user to follow a series of choice buttons to find their own path and story ending. The storyboard is the key to this project!

Choose Your Own Adventure

Here are examples of non-linear (webbed) slideshows that are webbed so that the end user can choose the path a story takes.

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.
