Overview

Grade levels: Primary, Intermediate, Middle, High

Google Slides is an online presentation tool that is part of the Google Workspace now available to all BCPS teachers and students.  It allows users to build presentations right in their web browser, and no special software is required.  Users can easily collaborate and share presentations that include text, photos, audio, and/or video files.  Even better, multiple people can work on slides at the same time!  You see people’s changes as they make them, and every change is automatically saved.
