What is Slides?
Slides is a place for creating, presenting and sharing slide decks. The
Slides editor is available online. Unlike traditional presentation software there
is no need to download anything. Everything you create is stored securely on
the website’s servers, accessible wherever you are.
How can this tool be applied in the classroom?
This tool can be applied as the basis for a
research project on any topic of the lesson. Students may start working at
school, and then access to their work at home, without needing to download
anything. Also, this online tool can be used to create a story and students can
add images, set the transition, and add their own voices to the presentation.
Why should teachers choose
this online tool?
According to Younie and Leask (2013), Web 2.0
technologies provide opportunities for collaborative knowledge building and
peer challenge which previously simply did not exist. By using this tool,
teachers can be assured that students will work collaboratively since they can
add collaborators (even the teacher can be included). Moreover, slides decks
are freely viewable anywhere
on desktop, tablets and phones. They can be embedded inside of a site or blog
and downloaded for full offline access; they can be exported as a PDF, shared
or printed for the class to see the presentation.
