Task 11: Advanced Google Presentations

Last week, we explored another aspect of Google Docs, Google Presentations. First, we learned the basics: how to create a slide, change the font colors and style, as well as changing the theme of the presentation. This week we're going to kick our skills up a notch and work on ADVANCED Google Presentation skill!

Your Task:

Choose any technology tool you have used in any class and create a three slide minimum presentation explaining to viewers how to use this tool.

In your presentation, you must include the following:

1. You must embed an image
2. You must have an active hyperlink
3. You must have a video embedded onto a slide

Good luck with your presentations, Students! I'm looking forward to seeing your work!
