To have students collaborate on a Google Slides presentation, one group member needs to create a Slides presentation. This can be done by asking the student to click on “NEW” in Google Drive and selecting Slides presentation. If you are using Google Classroom, create an assignment with no attachments. Instruct the “group leader” to click on the “OPEN” button and click on “Add” to add a Slides presentation.

The “group leader” will want to click on the blue share button and add the email addresses of group members to allow them to edit the Slides presentation. Google Classroom will automatically share the presentation with the teacher. If you are not using Google Classroom, the “group leader” will want to add the teachers email address to the sharing permissions.
