Interactive Google Slides for Teachers
Google Slides provides the most possibilities for interactivity when creating content for students. I was lucky enough to be the right-hand man to my talented colleague Jen Wall, twice this summer as she delivered the one hour webinar on Creating Interactive Google Slide Decks. As a teacher trainer, I’m supposed to know these tips and tricks and I found myself learning and relearning things that I had forgotten or never knew.
Jen was gracious enough to let me post the webinar on my channel, and I hope you find extreme value if you are an individual that uses slides casually or every day in your classroom.
If you would like to jump to a specific part of the video to learn the skill, I have listed the segments that Jen teaches and the clickable timestamp that will jump you to that part of the video.
