I love to add a little fun to my slides with Bitmoji. This video shows you 2 ways to insert Bitmoji's. One or both ways also work in other Google Apps.
This is an awesome feature by Google to easily get your presentation onto the web. You will have to options, one to create a link or an embed code. (I prefer the embed code)
The link option is great for sharing with students through Seesaw and other student management resources outside of Google.
Adding audio to Google Slides just got easier! This video will show you how to use Screencastify to create your audio, export it and insert it into a Google Slides Presentation.
(You can use any audio creation tool.)
Mote just made adding audio to Google Slides so much easier. Check out this video for some help using this tool. You can just record from the extension and inset the audio! This is a great way to support students that need audio directions or text read to them. *The audio can be 30 seconds long.
You can insert any YouTube video or Google Drive video into a Google Slides presentation. This makes it easy for you, students, and anyone else to access. It also takes away all the distracting video suggestions off to the side in YouTube as well! Check out the video for how and for more ideas about using this tip!
I already showed you how to insert a video, but you don't have to show them the whole thing! You can customize start and end times to direct students to a specific part of a longer video within Google Slides. Check this tip for a how-to!
This feature automatically pops up when you insert a video now!
Are you wanting to create an interactive slide where your students can only edit and move certain things. Check out this video on how to do that.
Here is a BLOG POST about awesome add-ons to use in Google Slides from Ditch that Textbook. Use the "Add-On" menu within Google Slides to add and try these. I HIGHLY recommend "Magic Rainbow Unicorn" for some fun!
