Formatting and duplicating visually appealing slides to use while you're teaching is much easier than it seems!

While Google Slides doesn't have all the bells and whistles of a program like Smart Notebook, you can still create drag & drop activities for sorting, labeling, or filling-out graphic organizers.

Slides (along with Google Sites) is one of the best ways to have students build and share a personal ePortfolio.

IF your school has a Nearpod license, did you know that you can create your Nearpod lesson from within Google Slides!? It's very easy to do and allows you to blend a combination of Google Slides and Nearpod slides/activities into one lesson!

Another Tip: If you're looking to make a safe music playlist for your students, build it inside of a Google Slides presentation using YouTube videos and share it with your students.

Reminder: YouTube videos inserted into Google Slides are not blocked during a Hapara Focus Session, even if YouTube is blocked.

Move from one slide to the next in an aesthetically pleasing way!

Have text or images fade in, slide in, or fly in to add a little more character to your Slides.

Setting slides to auto-advance allows the presentation to run by itself and is useful for situations like Open House or Science Fair presentations.

Utilizing your computer's microphone, Google can add live closed captions to the bottom of your presentation. This is beneficial for presentations to very large groups and as an accommodation for those who are dear or hard of hearing.

Whether you're inserting music or a recording of yourself, Slides makes it easy to insert and utilize during a presentation.

This feature allows you to link slides together from different presentations, meaning that changes made to one slide also affect the duplicate slide from the other presentation.
