Staff and students can embed MP3 and WAV audio files from Drive into Slides to increase student voice and collaboration among your students. That means Slides can be enhanced with voice, music, narration, sound effects and more. This is a great tool to use across the curriculum for reflection, simulating podcasting, showing evidence of collaboration, feedback and so much more.

Visit Slidesgo to locate Google Slides and Powerpoint templates. Copy the template into your Google Drive to edit content, duplicate slides you like, delete extra slides, etc. When the presentation is done, rename it and move it to the appropriate location/folder within your Google Drive so you can find it later!
Slidesgo.webmWhen presenting a Google Slides presentation, instead of going to "View- Present" and having it fill the whole screen so you can't see your other programs, just delete the end of the Google Slides link (everything after "edit") and type "present" at the end of the link. This will force it to present within a browser so you still have access to your other programs. This also works when sharing a Slides presentation with other people; you can manually change the sharing link so people will be "forced" into this presentation mode instead of seeing all the tiny slides on the side.
