Challenge: Google Slides

·                  What did you create, and why? 
·                  What went well for you?
    • Everything went well in this challenge. I will be using Google Slides more often in the future with my students. I would like to rework many of my Powerpoint presentations into Google Slides over the next few years, adding more video clips and streamlining the presentations.
·                  What was challenging?
    • The most challenging aspect of this work was just navigating through my Google Drive to review previous presentations, videos, and pictures. 
·                  What did you enjoy? 
    • I like inserting videos into the presentation. It is more user friendly than Powerpoint. I also liked practicing using Google Slides because my students prefer using this over Powerpoint.  I want to become more skilled in Google Slides to be able to support students in the classroom while they are working on a presentation..
·                  What ideas do you have for using this tool with your students, grade level, staff or to communicate with families

    • I teach 9-12 and all levels use Google Slides for preparing presentations. Biology students prepare at least one group slide presentation in the first semester and Google Slides allows for their work to be highly collaborative. I want my students to become proficient in using this app during their high school years. I also plan to rework a Prezi that I currently use into a Google Slide for Curriculum Night and post it on my website for parents that aren’t able to attend that evening.
