Stop-Motion Animation	Downloaded a graphic -- a picture of a bird, for example. Put it in one corner of a slide. Duplicate the slide (Command+D). Move the bird a little bit. Duplicate. Move the bird a little bit. Repeat. Set the presentation to change slides every second, and it looks like the bird is flying across the slides.

Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Story	"Because slides can contain hyperlinks to other slides, students could build a whole story where the reader chooses different options at key points in the story, leading them down completely different paths. The reader would consume the content as a slideshow, clicking on the links themselves as they go through." Source: Jennifer Gonzales, Cult of Pedagogy Links to an external site.
Magazine	"Students could use a template to create a magazine or newsletter that is shared online on a regular schedule. The possibilities here are endless, useful for student clubs or sports teams, classroom or grade-level newsletters, or magazines put out by groups of students who share a common interest, like gaming systems, soccer, or books."

Museum Kiosk	Enhance science fair projects, wax museums "with a looping video display that provides the audience with vivid visuals and text about our topic. Or imagine an art show, where a self-running informational slideshow could be placed beside an art display to share the story behind the piece and photos of the work in progress? This is possible and EASY in Google Slides: Simply create a slideshow, then use the “Publish to the Web” feature to create a slideshow that auto-advances and has no need for a presenter. Pop that up on an iPad or laptop and you’re all set." Source: Jennifer Gonzales, Cult of Pedagogy Links to an external site.
