@Lexi Daly
Reading Teacher, Instructional Technology Specialist, MakerSpace Coach. I have been an educator for 32 years total, most at Trinity Episcopal School in New Orleans in a variety of positions, settling into small group and support work for the last 20+ years. Integrating creative technology in meaningful ways is my jam!

Session description

From student templates, to plan books, and slide decks to support your teaching, the possibilities of customized themes in Google Slides are endless and can truly enhance productivity.

Purpose & objective

Participants will learn how to design a Google slide deck that will match their purpose. Using the "back end" and creative tools, I will show them how to change a theme to create a slide deck theme of their very own. Other applications of this basic idea will be shared and brainstormed.
