ABOUT:
Google Slides (formerly Google Presentation) is an Internet presentation generating software that works similarly to Microsoft PowerPoint. You can create presentation slides, or embed any kind of media just like you would in any PowerPoint presentation. But Google Slides also does so much more. Not only can you work alone inside the presentation slides, you can work at the same time as other people. Google Slides allows more than one person to type in a presentation at once. It also allows easy sharing and embedding in external documents. And there are comment bubbles and an instant messaging feature so that you can receive and provide feedback from other users. Google Slides is excellent for group work and collaborative presenting.
Supported
Mac, PC, Google Chromebook, Mobile
Pros
- Google Slides is on the cloud, so you can never accidentally erase it forever if your computer crashes.
- It is sharable instantaneously and all you need is an internet connection.
- I makes group work a lot more convenient because you can create slideshow presentations with someone else without being in the same room.
Cons
- Under the ‘anyone can edit’ feature, it is easy to lose track of who has generated which section.
- It is sometimes difficult to find presentations that someone has shared with you.
