Watch the video about how to draw on Google Slides using the Google Chrome extension called Annotate.
Click here > Annotate extension to install the extension. After you install the extension, be sure to pin it to your Chrome browser for easy access.
In order to use the extension, you’ll need to create an account first. To do that click on the extension on your browser and select ‘Free Registration’.
Choose to create an education account.
Once you’ve set up your account, you can immediately hop over to a Google Slides presentation to see how it works.
First, you’ll need to click on the extension and choose ‘turn annotations on’. Then you’ll see an annotations menu show up on the top right-hand side of the screen.
The following annotation tools are available:
Laser tool
Pen tool
Highlighter tool
Text box tool
Sticky annotations
Try out each of these tools and then take a SCREENSHOT to upload to the Google Form provided below.
What makes Annotate stand out from other extensions that allow you to draw on the screen is the fact that your annotations stick to the Slides rather than the screen.
You can also save your annotations to use later. To do that, go up to the disk icon, give your annotations and name and a description, and click ‘save’.
