Google Presentation is a handy tool for any teacher because of its mobility. I prefer it over PowerPoint because I don't have to remember where I stored the actual file! Since it is in Google Drive, it goes where you go! I don't know how many times in my life I've searched in vain to find a specific PowerPoint. Google Presentation helps me stay organized on the go.
My Norfolk One-Act Team will be performing Animal Farm by George Orwell as our competitive piece this year. It will be a symbolic presentation because I prefer more grit than cutesy animal costumes. I haven't found a good cutting, so I am in the process of writing it myself. In the fall, before tryouts I will hold a meeting for parents and students. At the meeting we will discuss rules, expectations, practice schedules, etc., but I would also like to share a little background on Animal Farm and George Orwell so students have an understanding of the material before actually having to tryout.
The Google Presentation I created for Challenge 8 of the Summer Tech Challenge is not quite finished yet. I will add more content about different characters in the play and which Russian leaders they symbolize.
I love that you have found a use for Google Presentation outside the classroom!
ReplyDeleteI like your point about Google Presentation going with you. That is one of my favorite things about working in the cloud! I have it no matter where I am or what device I have.
Thanks, Mickie! I figured that it was related to teaching - just on the stage instead of in the classroom! :) I love that I can get anything on Google I need, from any computer or device. And I love that my students can too. All their essays and research papers go directly into Google drive. It makes editing so much easier for them (and me!).
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that not having to worry about storing and saving and finding things again later are just the best! I look forward to new additions to this part of Google! Great Google Presentation!
