Module 5.4 - Google Slides

 Google Slides

Google Slides is the presentation program that is part of Google's G Suite. Slides is an online, collaborative presentation tool in which presentations are stored in Google Drive. As you edit a Google Slides presentation, your changes are automatically saved and revisions can be tracked and even restored. Google Slides is a simplified, web-based version of Microsoft PowerPoint or Apple's Keynote. Many of the same features from PowerPoint and Keynote are also available in Google Slides, but not all of them. Learn more about what Slides does by visiting the Google Slides website:
