Week 9: Google Slides Presentation

 




This is a slideshow I made in Google Slides. I'm a big fan of Google Drive and all of its components - Slides included. I find the interface easier to work with than Powerpoint, because it's less busy and less scattered - the buttons are the same size, there's orderly sections that help direct you to what you're looking for, and the process of moving your text and building blocks around is much easier than it is in Powerpoint. I firmly believe that Google's workspaces are better than Microsoft's, and I'll die on that hill - but let me get off my soapbox. All in all, I enjoyed this mini project and hope this slideshow could help those who have never made an instructional slideshow before!

Their hopeful view makes me think about how schools c...

Week 8: Screencast Video

  Here is my screencast video - I used Techsmith Capture to demonstrate and explain a bit about how to organize files and folders in Google Drive. I believe this would help someone whose class or company uses Google interfaces - it would be the first step of many designed to explain how Google Drive works.
