In the 24-hour news cycle, complex ideas are often distilled down into brief snippets.

This session will focus on unpacking some simple to use tools and features in Slides, as well as, projects, assessment or activities to use in your classroom.
Once you know the basics, you can tap into a powerful set of easy to use creative tools and make your own graphics, posters, infographics or #booksnaps.

Summarizing in Sound Bites
"Extended practice in creating news headlines will help students develop a paraphrasing mindset. Although the actual headline may be a helpful mnemonic for long-term retention, the creation of a line to accurately and completely portray the concepts, events, or people is what results in solid learning. Students critiquing each other’s headlines in light of their learning will also help them retain information."
