GAIN google presentation

For the most part, Google presentations seems to be quite similar to a regular Microsoft powerpoint. t even includes a space for students to write notes about each slide. The main difference is again, the ability for more than one person to be working on the same project at the same time. This is what makes google presentations more desirable to use within a classroom setting. Also, because it is all done on the internet, students are able to access their projects from anywhere. These two things make google presentations a great alternative to Microsoft power point.

There are many different creative ways that teachers can use google presentations. One way that I saw was a teacher who used google presentation to have her students create a choose your own adventure story. I thought this was really creative because the students were using creative thinking, writing skills, and technology. It sounds like something students would rally enjoy. The benefit of doing this on google presentations is that students were able simultaneously work on their different slides on the same projects.

I also mentioned another project in my GAIN post about google documents about a teacher who used google presentations to have her students make a vocabulary slid show. Each students, or pair of students contributed one slide abouta  particular vocabulary word. The presentation was then shown in class. I think this is great because the students had an avtive part in creating their own learning presentation for that aspect of class.

Another teacher used the form and spread sheets available in google drive to have her students put together a consumer product testing experiment. After choosing a topic and a target group, the students used google forms to create a survey. Once they collected the data from the surveys, they used that information to create a spreadsheet on google drives.
