Google Slides Interactive Stories

Google Slides is useful for more than presentations. Slides include a variety of options that are useful for creating interactive slides. Shapes like rounded rectangles are used for navigation buttons. Speech bubbles in the shapes palette are used for conversations between characters. Search the Internet within Slides to find appropriate characters for stories. All image searches return images in the creative commons or in the public domain. Add backgrounds on slides to enhance the story with more visual interest. Use Google Drawings to create custom backgrounds. Include voice-over narration with embedded video. Use slide animations and transitions to enhance the story. Create your own animated Gifs with free Chrome browser applications.

Google Suite sharing and collaboration

Explore ways to share documents for collaboration. This includes giving other users edit access. Edit access allows others to freely add and modify content. Google provides three options for sharing. The options include edit, view, and comment permissions. The edit permission is often used for collaboration. Edit permission gives that user the same options to change the document as the owner of the document.
