- What Does It Mean to Think Outside the Slide?
Google Slides is a fantastic presentation tool. It is great for sharing information, links, and videos. But it also can be so much more than a tool for sharing information - it can be a tool for creation, collaboration, and critical thinking. With the ability to embed video on a slide, you can add rolling dice. Through the ability to insert shapes, you can create interactive manipulatives. By using multiple functions and tools within Google Slides (text boxes, images, links, etc.), you can create an interactive HyperDoc for students to explore content, reflect, and capture and display thinking.
