It's time to get funky with Google Slides (or any presentation tool.) Let's get to work using presentation tools for more than a presentation. Turn around and learn how to make slides into ebooks, Interactive Book or Museum, or a HistoryFlix and more. Turn it out to showcase student learning!

Audience:	Coaches, Teachers, Professional developers

Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

Participants will explore new ways to use a common presentation tool. Therefore, instead of doing more or learning more tools; they simply could do differently with an already known tool. These ideas truly showcase student learning in an engaging creative manner. Having the knowledge of the common tool (PowerPoint or Google Slides) allows teachers to grow their integration practices versus just acquiring a new tool at a usage level.

Supporting research

I believe that using tech tools you know and know well, allow teachers to truly focus on the learning & skills versus having to figure out a new tool. Having a well rounded few tools that allow students and teachers get to a deeper level of learning outweighs a plethora of tools that learners only know at a surface level. Their creations will only be at that level as well then!
