SESSION 1
THE ADVENTURER
Welcome to the world of adventure! For someone who wants to be an
adventurer someday, we’ll need to learn what it takes to be one. In this session,
we wil discover what an adventure really is, what an adventurer does and how
to be like one, and how to prepare for an adventure we have always wanted.

Assignment 1: Gearing for an Adventure

What is an Adventure?

An adventure can be described as a new, fun and exciting activity that is often
times beyond one’s usual, day-to-day experiences. For example, getting
involved in activities such as mountain climbing, skiing, scuba diving or camping
may be considered adventures by some. However, these activities may require
the guidance of a parent or guardian since they could be risky if not prepared
or trained for.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 3
THE ADVENTURER

Types of Adventure

Adventures can be classified into 2 categories, the “Hard” and “Soft”


categories. Hard categories are extreme and dangerous activities such as rock
climbing, surfing and paragliding. Soft adventures are the less dangerous
activities such as tours, bird watching or star gazing. Apart from the categories,
adventures are also classified into ranks such as Easy, Medium, Hard and
Difficult. As students, we need to stick to the Soft category adventures which
are safer but could still bring excitement. Although engaging in extreme
activities may be more fun for some, soft adventures may be just as thrilling and
more importantly, less dangerous.

Assignment 2: Becoming an Adventurer

How to become an adventurer

We have described an adventure as a new and fun experience. While as kids


we may be too young to try some things, we can participate in activities that
are new and fun all the same.

Trying new things means that we cannot be fully prepared for them. Unlike
going to school whereby we are often expected to come to our classes
prepared, adventures can either be planned or can be unexpected.

To help prepare for going on adventures, it is a good idea to do the following.

(1) Know different places in our local community or the actual place we want
to visit.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 7
THE ADVENTURER

(2) Take care of all our travel necessities, money and passports (if we are going
out of the country). Knowing that you have everything you need gives you less
worries and greater anticipation for the upcoming adventure.

Keep your pocket money close. Be wary of your surroundings especially if there
is a risk of losing your valuables. We don't want to come up short on budget
when we need it most.

8 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 1

(3) Be open to plan changes and make friends with fellow adventurers. They
can provide some tips which may be helpful in our journey. However,
remember to remain careful and alert when dealing with strangers.

(4) Bring what is only necessary. Going on adventures doesn't necessarily mean
we have to pack heavy. Sort out your things by packing what is important for
the trip and disregarding those that could just be a waste of space.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 9
THE ADVENTURER

(5) Dress comfortably. It is important that we wear clothes that are appropriate
in the context of the activity we are about to engage in. We don't have to dress
to impress; instead, we can keep it simple.

Once we have done all these steps, we can start calling ourselves adventurers!

10 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 1

Multiple Choice: Read each statement and encircle the letter of the correct
answer.

(1) Though we cannot be fully ready for adventures, it is to our best interest to
be as much as possible.

A. Prepared C. Oblivious
B. Neglectful D. Unaware

(2) When traveling to other places, foreign or local, it is advisable to first read
and gain knowledge about them. This is called about the place.

A. Knowing C. Neglecting
B. Ignoring D. Overlooking

(3) When we bring our pocket money to the places we tisravel to, it is good
practice to for safe keeping.

A. Keep it close C. Keep a few Money


B. Give it to others D. None of the Above

(4) Even though we should be friendly and open to other people during
adventures, we should be on guard and wary of .

A. Strangers C. Bus Driver


B. Tour Guide D. Friends

(5) Going on adventures can last as short as a day to as long as a week or even
longer. When going on adventures that do not last that long, it is best to pack
your things .

A. Light C. Moderate
B. Heavy D. In a Stroller

Assignment 3: Making Presentation

What is a Presentation?

Delivering a presentation is a means of communicating our ideas and sharing


our experiences with others. A speaker delivers a visual presentation to aid his
or her discussion. Thus, presentations should clearly support and match the
speaker's message. For example, in the classroom, our teachers deliver lessons,
often discussing and explaining concepts with visual aids or simply writing on
the board. Similarly, sharing your experiences to others through visual
presentations could not only provide your audience an easier understanding of
what you are saying but it could also get their attention, making them
interested to listen.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 17
PRESENTATION DESIGNER

Rules in Delivering Presentations

When we deliver presentations, there are things we need to remember to help


prevent our presentations from becoming too boring or confusing. Besides this,
we will learn a few tips that will help us avoid committing mistakes when
delivering a presentation.

(1) Lack of Preparation - One of the most common reasons why speakers fail at
delivering oral presentations is that they lack preparation. Being prepared is
more important than having attractive visual aids. Hence, it is best to practice
days before the actual presentation.

18 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 2

(2) Text-Heavy Slides - Another problem that we speakers have to avoid when
delivering oral presentations is putting too much information into our slides.

We must remember that slides only serve as visual support as we verbally


deliver our message. Creating slideshows that contain too much text may lead
to confusion, boredom and disinterest on the part of the audience. To avoid
this, be straight to the point by only including key words and phrases in your
slides.

(3) Less is More - To keep your presentation simple you may apply the 10/20/30
rule: 10 slides, 20 minutes, 30 font. This rule will be explained further in the
succeeding lessons.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 19
PRESENTATION DESIGNER

Multiple Choice: Read each statement and encircle the letter of the best
answer.

(1) Visual aids must complement the speaker's actual message with regard a
particular topic. What speakers should remember when delivering a
presentation is that their visual aids must not _____.

A. Replace the Speaker C. Support the Speaker


B. Replace the Audience D. Support the Audience

(2) An oral presentation can be considered a success if the audience was able
to _____ the message.

A. Deliver C. Listen
B. Do D. Appreciate

(3) Text-heavy slides may lead speakers to simply reading the content off the
visuals instead of explaining details spontaneously. Remember, visual aids
should be ______.

A. Full of things C. Full of Design


B. Straight to the Point D. Able to replace speaker

(4) What is the rule that could help anyone create a good visual presentation?

A. 20/30/10 C. 10/20/30
B. 30/10/20 D. 10/30/20

(5) Sam decides to enter his entire speech in all of his slides. What mistake, in
terms of creating visuals, did he make?

A. Too few texts C. Did not practice


B. Too much texts D. Did not bring note cards

TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 2

Assignment 4: Navigating Google Slide

It is possible to upload presentations in online storage sites such as Google Drive.


In Google Drive, anyone can upload files without worrying about viruses. How
does one begin to use Google Drive?

Signing Up to Google Drive

Before signing up for a Google Drive account, we need to visit


Google first. Do this through any web browser available in your
PC. Web Browsers are applications used to access and search
the internet. One example is "Internet Explorer" which is by
default, the only web browser available for a Windows
Operating System. Whereas, "Safari" is a web browser
specifically for Mac computers.

We can also search for other web browsers online such as "Mozilla Firefox" and
"Google Chrome" then download and install them in our desktops.

When we have a web browser open, in the address bar above, type in
https://drive.google.com or search for it in the search bar by typing “Google
Drive”.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 21
PRESENTATION DESIGNER

We will be redirected to a new page which will require us to fill out a form with
certain information.

Fill out the required fields as seen above then click "Next Step".

Make sure you provide correct information about yourself since the details
entered will serve as identification of your account.

Type in your name and surname in the


respective fields.

Enter a username which will serve as


your official account name. It is
advisable to use your real name rather
than informal nicknames such as
"CutieSuzie" or "Naruto99" since you are signing up for an email account and
not a social media account.

22 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 2

Create a password that is easy for you


to remember but not too obvious for
others to guess quickly. Refrain from
using passwords such as 1234 or
personal information such as your
name or birthday.

Select the month then enter the day


and year you were born.

Select your gender: Male (boys) and


Female (girls).

Enter your mobile phone number. If


you do not have one, ask your
parents if you can use theirs since this
field is required to complete the sign
up process. If your number is not from the US, click the flag beside the text box
and select your country to enter your local mobile number.

If you have not created any previous


email accounts before, simply leave
this blank. If you have or if your
parents allowed you to use theirs,
then type the number in the box. This will serve as a back up email address in
case of emergency.

When you sign up for any online account, most of


the time, you will be asked to type random
numbers or letters into a text box to verify that you
are human. This is called a CAPTCHA which
prevents automated machines from creating
numerous accounts for a single individual.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 23
PRESENTATION DESIGNER

Choose your current location. Click "I


agree to the Google Terms of Service
and Privacy Policy" which means you
have understood the responsibilities,
liabilities and warranties involved
when signing up for a Google
account. It also gives Google
permission to use your account according to the terms they have set.

Once you have finished filling out the required fields, click "Next Step" .

We will be redirected to a page where we can upload a photo for our


account. To be easily identified, choose a photo clearly showing your face.

24 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 2

Add a Photo

To add a profile photo, click "Add a Photo" and wait till a new window appears
as can be seen below.

Click “Select a Photo from your Computer”

TECHNOKIDS INC. 25
PRESENTATION DESIGNER

Select the photo you want to use in your profile then click "Open".

Then a bar will appear, indicating the progress of the uploading process.

Once uploaded, your picture will be displayed along with an editing box.
Move the box across the surface of the image to determine the coverage of
your profile picture.

We can choose to rotate the picture by clicking the "Left" and "Right" buttons
on the upper right portion of the editing window.

26 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 2

We can also add a caption to our picture by clicking "Add Caption" below the
editing box.

Once done, click on “Set as Profile Photo” to replace image icon with your
chosen photo.

Click Next Step and we will be taken to a new page. Click “Back to Google
Docs” to arrive at Google Drive’s main menu.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 27
PRESENTATION DESIGNER

Opening Presentation

Now that we have opened a Google Drive account, it is time we learn how to
use it for our adventures. Once we go on adventures, we tend to remember
and relive the experience through stories we tell others. In this project, your
experiences can also be shared through visual presentations.

The main menu of Google Drive serves as an easy access point for the owner
to open any existing files he/she may have. Users may also create new files
such as Document, Presentation or Spreadsheet.

For sharing adventure ideas, you'll have to choose Presentation. To start, let us
create a new Google Slide file by clicking Create and then selecting
Presentation from the drop-down list.

28 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 2

Knowing the Interface

After creating a new presentation, we will be asked to choose a theme. Simply


click Cancel and we will be led to the presentation itself.

The next page displays an image that is labeled with letters indicating parts of
the presentation interface.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 29

TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 2

A. Open Google Drive - Opens Google Drive in a new tab which is found on
the upper left portion of Presentation.

Once you hover the mouse pointer over the icon on the left side, the icon will
change to an A-like image as seen above.

B. Presentation Name - The title of the presentation that is currently open. It is


found on the upper left portion of Presentation.

By default, the name of a newly created presentation is called “Untitled


Presentation” for the reason that it has not been named. Clicking on this will
allow us to change the name via a pop-up window called Rename Document,
appearing and asking to enter a new name for it. Clicking on “OK” will change
the name and “Cancel” will keep the previous name.

When choosing a name, choose one that is not offensive nor vulgar in any
manner.

C. Menu Bar - Contains most tools used in the Presentation. Found on the Upper
Left of the Presentation, just below Presentation Name.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 31
PRESENTATION DESIGNER

The menu bar contains 10 different menus each with its own drop-down menus.
These menus contain all of the tools that we can use in Google Slide.

D. Toolbar - Contains tools that allow one to edit elements in the Presentation. It
is found on the Upper Left of the Presentation, just below Menu Bar.

There are two types of Toolbars: the Standard Toolbar and the Formatting
Toolbar. The Formatting Toolbar changes depending on the selected element.

Standard Toolbar

Formatting Toolbar

E. Present Button - Switches to Presentation Mode. Found on the Upper Right of


the Presentation.

Clicking on the Present Button will switch from edit to present mode, showing a
slideshow of everything previously inputted for audience viewing.

F. Comment Button - Allows a person to view existing comments and also add
comments on a slide or element in the presentation for others to see. Found on
the Upper Right of the Presentation, and to the Right of the Present Button.

This button allows comments to to be shown in the presentation like notes that
help users keep track of thoughts or suggestions. It also allows all comments to
be viewed in the presentation along with the names of those who gave
comments and those who replied to them.

32 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 2

G. Share Button - Allows a person to share his/her presentation to others via


email. Found on the Upper Right of Presentation, to the Right of Comment
Button.

The share button allows us to give other people access to our presentation as
well as give them the authority to edit, comment or simply view our works.

H. Username - Displays the name of the user currently logged in on Google


Drive. Found on the Upper Right of Presentation, just above the Comment and
Share Button.

The user name tells us whose account is currently signed in. This is helpful
especially when some users forget to log off since the username displayed will
tell us if a user is logged in.

I. Slides Pane - Displays the number of slides in the presentation and the outlook
of each slide. Found on the Left Side of Presentation, it also occupies the entire
left space.

The slides pane allows us to see how many slides the presentation contains and
the contents of the slide. It also shows us the order of the slides when it is
presented.

J. Slide Pane - The main workspace found in the center of the presentation.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 33
PRESENTATION DESIGNER

The workspace is where we add texts, images and videos to our presentation.
To put it simply, it is where we create and edit our presentation.

It is also important to remember that SLIDES Pane and SLIDE Pane are two
different parts.

K. Speaker Notes - Space allotted by the presentation for speakers to use as a


note reader. This is not visible to the audience during the presentation. It is
found just below Slide Pane.

On the bottom of the screen, we will see a space where we can add some
texts and with a heading “Click to Add Notes”. This space is where we can
write speaker notes that will serve as guides during our presentation.

TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 2

Assignment 5: Themes and Layouts

Now that we know basic information about Google Presentation, we can now
build our Presentation about our most memorable adventure. Think about the
best adventure you have ever had. For instance, traveling by plane to a
foreign country where one has experienced Autumn and Winter can be
considered a memorable experience to some. Hence, our sample
presentation for this assignment will focus on this adventure. Decide which
adventure to share to our audience by taking into consideration these
questions: What was my vacation like? Did I go to a foreign country to
experience something new? Did I visit a different region in my home country?
What exciting things did I get to do during my vacation? Once we've thought
of answers to these questions, we can begin our grand adventure presentation!

We can begin creating our presentation by first looking at the basic themes
and layouts available which can be used to make our slides attractive.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 37
PRESENTATION DESIGNER

Adding a New Slide

When creating a new presentation, we are asked to choose a theme that we


want to apply to our slides. In this example, the theme "Swiss" will be used.
Selecting a theme means it will be applied to all slides in your presentation.

Note: Every time we create a new presentation, we will always be asked to


choose a theme. To avoid this, simply uncheck Show for new presentations.

38 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 2

Now that we have selected our presentation theme, we can add a few extra
slides to get a better illustration of what layouts would be. To start, click Slide in
the Menu Bar.

A drop down list will appear.


Select New Slide.

To know whether a new slide has been successfully added, there should be
two slides labeled 1 and 2 in the Slides Pane. Apart from this, you may also look
at our Slide Pane which should now be on slide 2.

1 2

Notice the shortcut key CTRL + M beside "New Slide". Shortcut keys execute a
certain function or command more quickly. Press and hold the CTRL key on the
keyboard and press M. A third slide should now be added. Each shortcut key
performs a particular function and the CTRL + M shortcut is specifically for
adding a new slide.

Another way to add a new slide is to just simply click the


plus sign button labeled "New slide (CTRL + M)" in the
Formatting Toolbar.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 39
PRESENTATION DESIGNER

Beside the "+" sign for adding a new slide, a small arrow down icon can be
seen, labeled as "New slide with Layout". Clicking the icon will allow us to add a
new slide and choose a specific layout for it.

Try adding another slide using this option and choose a layout you prefer. There
should now be a total of 4 slides in our presentation.

A layout refers to the arrangement of texts and graphics that aims to highlight
certain points depending on your purpose or preference. For example, a Title
Slide layout is mainly used to introduce the topic.

Notice that there are 6 layouts all in all. Let’s match the number of slides we
have to the total number of layouts by adding two more slides to our
presentation.

As mentioned previously, we can practice the 10/20/30 rule when creating a


visual presentation. 10 refers to the total number of slides that we should have
in our presentation although we are given the liberty to exceed it. However, to
keep things simpler since we are only beginners, let us practice the "10 slides
only" rule.

40 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 2

Change Layout

Now that we have 6 slides, let us change the layout of slides 2-6 and apply
each type of layout per slide so that none would have the same style.

To change a layout for a slide, go to the Formatting Toolbar


and look for Layout. This is just between Background... and
Theme....

Clicking this will show a drop down list of layouts we can choose from. Apply a
different layout to each slide as seen below.

1 2 3

Title Slide Title and Body Title and Two Columns

4 5 6

Title Only Caption Blank

Another method we can use to change the layouts of


our slides is to click Slide in the Menu Bar and choose
Apply Layout. This will also display all 6 layouts seen in
the Layout menu.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 41
PRESENTATION DESIGNER

Change Theme

Feel free to change the theme as many times as you want until you are
satisfied with what you have.

To change the theme of our presentation, we go to


Formatting Toolbar and click the “Theme...” button.

Clicking Theme... will display the same window that appears every time we
create a new presentation.

If you want to change your theme, simply select from the available options
then click OK. If you wish to keep your current theme, click Cancel.

If you want to create your own theme, it is advisable to choose the default
theme "Simple Light". Feel free to experiment on the different themes until you
find one that suits your presentation.

42 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 2

Change Background

The background of our presentation should also reflect the tone that we want
to portray.

By default the background is dependent on the


chosen theme. To change this, we go to our
Formatting Toolbar and click Background...

We can also access the Menu Bar then choose


Slide ► Change Background....

Changing the background is the first step to building our adventure


presentation. Change your background to a memorable photo taken during
your adventure.

When we click “Background...” a new window


will pop-up called ‘Background’, with three
options to choose from.

To add an image from our own collection, we


click Choose found beside Image. The Insert
Image pop up window will then appear.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 43
PRESENTATION DESIGNER

One of the simplest ways to insert an image from our collection to choose
Upload.

Click Choose an Image to Upload found in


the center of the Insert Image pop-up
window.

Clicking Choose an Image to Upload will open another window which allows us
to select a photo from a specific location in our hard drive. Thus, find the
location of your image, select it then click Open.

44 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 2

Based on the example, our adventure starts in an airport, where we await our
plane ride to our first foreign destination.

An upload status bar will appear indicating progress of the photo being
uploaded.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 45
PRESENTATION DESIGNER

When done, we will be redirected to the background pop-up window with our
chosen image slightly visible in the background. Click “Done” to view the
image background more clearly.

We have now successfully completed the first step in building a presentation by


adding background images, setting layouts and choosing themes for our
presentation.

Note: Make sure the size of the background picture reaches the minimum of
1600x900 pixels. If the picture is less than the minimum, it will be stretched out to
meet the said minimum size, making it look pixelated. On the other hand, if the
image is too big, it might look too compressed and disproportional.

Have you ever gone on a camping trip? Have you ever tried rock climbing?
One's experiences during adventures are always so memorable that
background images are not enough to fully express them. Thus, it is important
that we add texts to our presentation to complement our background image.
In this session, we are going to learn how to add texts to our presentation as
well as learn techniques to modify them. Let's get started!

Assignment 6: Adding Text Elements

We are well on our way to successfully creating our adventure presentation.


However, we must first learn to add some texts to accompany the images
present in our presentation. These texts should be able to support the images,
making our presentation more informative and at the same time attractive.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 55
PRESENTATION DESIGNER

In our sample adventure, we share our trip to a foreign land where we have
experienced the beauty of Autumn. What do you think is the most memorable
moment of your own adventure?

Adding Texts

When we create a presentation, the first slide by default is always the title slide
since it automatically gets the Title Slide layout.

To add texts to our presentation, simply select one of the following text boxes
with the labels Click to Add Title, Click to Add Subtitle or Click to Add Texts and
enter the text you wish to add in each box.

Type the title of your presentation in the Click to Add Title text box while
additional information about the title goes to "Click to Add Subtitle".

56 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 3

Let’s start by naming our presentation. Give a general idea on what your
presentation is about by entering a title in the Click to add Title box. A title must
be catchy enough to get the attention of your audience. A subtitle need not
be catchy but must still be able to provide a good description of your title.

Let us now move to our second slide. Think of the first fun thing that happened
during your vacation. Look for a picture of that event that you can Our sample
adventure now leads us to the experience of seeing beautiful Autumn leaves.
Set the layout of slide 2 to Title Only.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 57
PRESENTATION DESIGNER

We can add, resize and move additional text boxes.

There are two ways in adding text boxes. First, we can


click the Text Box button (shown as a letter T enclosed
within a box) found in the Standard Toolbar, right beside
the selected Arrow button.

Another method is to select Insert in the Menu Bar. Click


Insert to reveal a drop down list then look for "Text Box".

To complete the task of adding a new text box, simply click on any space in
the Slide Pane and then a you'll see a new text box.

58 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 3

To move the text box around, hover the mouse over the
blue lines surrounding the text box and when the icon has
turned to a four direction arrow cursor, click and drag
and the text box should follow.

To resize text boxes, we need to hover the mouse over


one of the blue boxes at the edges of the blue lines.

When the mouse icon has turned to a two pointed arrow


icon, simply click and drag to resize the text box of your
choice.

The theme we have previously chosen for this example, Swiss, appear to
contrast with the background since its resulting text font is red as seen below.

Thus, it is advisable to change the theme to Simple Light which results in a black
text font, complementing the current background.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 59
PRESENTATION DESIGNER

Let us now edit our sample presentation's second slide. Select the title text box
and press the Delete key on the keyboard. Then, add 4 new text boxes and
enter each of these words that describe the autumn season: "Beautiful",
"Colorful", "Falling" and "Glowing".

60 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 3

Fill in the Blanks: Write the correct answer on the blank provided to complete
each statement.

(1) When the cursor turns to a directional arrow, it is an indication


that the text box will be dragged when clicked and moved.

(2) A directional arrow cursor indicates that the text box will be
resized instead of dragged.

(3) The two directional arrow cursor appears only when the mouse is hovered
over the .

(4) The name of the presentation should be entered in the text box with a label
called “Click to add “.

(5) “Click to add “ is where we insert texts that give additional


information regarding the title.

Assignment 7: Format Text Elements

At this point, while the background image complements the font color, the
texts in general create very little impact. To improve the style of the texts, it is
important to format text elements.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 63
PRESENTATION DESIGNER

Change Font

To produce more attractive texts, it is advisable to change the font style to one
that suits the theme and topic of our presentation.

Let us now try changing the font type of our texts. Select the text box whose
font you would like to change.

Look for Font in the Formatting Toolbar. This box is


labeled with a default font type Arial.

Click the drop down arrow and a list of available fonts will appear. By default,
only a few types are available.

To add fonts, click More fonts. This will lead you to


Google Fonts which contains a list of available fonts
that can be added to our list.

64 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 3

Add more fonts to our current list by selecting the font


type of your choice. Notice that a check mark will
appear beside it.

On the right side of the window, the font styles added


will appear under My fonts.

To remove fonts already added from this list, simply click 'x' beside each font
style.

It is also possible to sort the available fonts according to categories. To the left
of My fonts, the Show and Sort options can be seen.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 65
PRESENTATION DESIGNER

Clicking Show will allow Google Fonts to display available fonts depending on
certain categories. For example, choosing Show:Handwriting will only display
fonts in the said category.

On the other hand, changing Sort works just the same except that instead of
categories, fonts are sorted based on certain criteria. For example, by setting
Sort to Alphabetical, fonts will then be arranged in alphabetical order, from A
to Z.

66 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 3

If we wish to locate some fonts, combining


Show and Sort may deliver more specific
results. However, if we know the name of
the font style we are looking for, we can
simply use the search option found just
above the available list of fonts.

If your search yields no results, then the font you are looking for is unavailable in
Google Fonts.

Now that we have learned how to add fonts, we can now change the font
styles in our presentation to suit our topic and theme. For this example, change
the font to "Great Vibes" and "Alex Brush".

We can change the title font of the first


slide to Great Vibes and the subtitle font to
Alex Brush. Then, feel free to move the text
boxes around until you find a space where
the text can be read clearly. You are also
encouraged to choose other fonts
depending on your own preferences.

On the other hand, change the font style


of the four words (Beautiful, Colorful, Falling,
Glowing) previously entered in slide 2 to
Amatic SC. Feel free to choose other font
styles.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 67
PRESENTATION DESIGNER

Change Font Color

Changing the font color allows us to choose colors for texts that would best
complement the background image.

To start changing font colors, select the text box whose text needs a change in
color.

Notice how the Formatting Toolbar has changed from this,

To this more detailed toolbar:

The new options which can now be viewed in the toolbar are
for modifying texts. From this new list, click Text Color right
beside the Underline icon (U).

68 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 3

A drop down window will now appear, showing a color palette with all possible
color options available. Choosing any of these colors will change the font color
of the text in the selected box.

We can also choose to customize the color by clicking Custom at the bottom
of the window which will lead to a pop-up window with a color palette which
we can manipulate. The vertical bar to the right of the palette is the brightness
control which can be adjusted for any color.

On top of the color palette is a text box with a Color Code. Color Codes are
represented by a random combination of letters and numbers. These codes
are unique to each color and its brightness, ranging from #0000000 (Black) to
#FFFFFF (White).

TECHNOKIDS INC. 69
PRESENTATION DESIGNER

In this example, the font color was changed from Black to Dark Red 3. Apply
this color to all four text boxes in slide 2. To clearly see the difference in color,
we can make the text bigger by changing the font size.

to

Change Font Size

In the 10/20/30 rule previously discussed, 30 refers to the minimum Font Size in
any presentation. Choosing a smaller font size for texts may not be visible
enough for the audience to see.

To change the font size, select the text box whose text needs resizing.

Then, in the Formatting Toolbar, find and click the Font Size icon
as indicated by a number (30).

Clicking the drop down arrow will reveal a list of possible font
sizes that can be applied to our text. The greater the number,
the bigger the font size.

Clicking the Font Size icon will highlight the number, making it possible to simply
type in any font size we prefer.

70 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 3

In this example, we will set the font size of all texts in slide 2 to 72 and resize the
text box so that the texts can be seen.

Change Text Format

A default font style is applied to title boxes which is called BOLD. A Bold font
style shows a thicker outline of the text for emphasis. Go to slide 1 and click the
title text box.

BOLD

None

To apply and remove this font style, click the Bold icon in the
Formatting Toolbar as represented by the letter B. Aside from
this, we can also press the shortcut key CTRL + B for a Bold
text effect.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 71
PRESENTATION DESIGNER

Another font style that can be applied to texts is called


Italic. Applying this style to certain texts creates a slightly
slanted effect, often to put emphasis on selected words. To
apply or remove this font style, click the Italic icon (or press
the shortcut CTRL + I) as represented by the letter I.

Another font style that can be applied to texts is called


Underline. This style also denotes emphasis by simply
underlining the highlighted text. To apply and remove this
effect, click the Underline icon (or press the shortcut key
CTRL + U) as represented by an underlined letter U.

Let us now go back to slide 2. Pick any of the 4 text boxes and resize the text by
stretching the bottom right corner of the box. Choose another text box then
resize it by stretching the upper left corner of the box towards a top-left
direction.

Notice how the texts resized to the top-left moved while the ones
resized to the bottom-right did not. This is an effect of the Align
option.

By default, texts in new text boxes are aligned to the left and top. As a result,
the text will not move even if we stretch the text box to the right or bottom.

Let’s change the text alignments to Center and Middle. Applying these
alignments will set the text to the center of the text box, allowing the text to
move whenever the box is resized to whichever direction.

We can now adjust the positions of our texts. At this point, our slides should look
like these:

Remember that our slides must not be text-heavy. Visual presentations are only
meant to support our discussion. It is our job as speakers to describe and
explain to our audience information that they need to know. Therefore, slides
should only contain key words.

At this point, we have successfully learned how to format texts in our first 2 slides
to match the theme and topic of our presentation. Let us now add a third slide
which reveals the location of our adventure: Japan.

In our example adventure, we traveled to a where we saw the Autumn Leaves.


That foreign land we went to is Japan, and as such, we will show an image of
Japan’s Autumn Leaves.

Did you know that creating an attractive visual presentation is not only limited
to simply adding text and changing their color? We can further expand our
creativity by adding images and videos to make our slides more attractive and
meaningful. Visual presentations are a mix of texts and multimedia, thus,
delivering messages and assisting speakers more effectively.

Assignment 8: Adding Multimedia Elements

To create an effective presentation, we can put together texts and multimedia.


Just like adding colors to texts however, adding multimedia should be done
carefully, choosing only those elements that suit the theme and topic of the
presentation. In this assignment, we will learn how to add multimedia elements
that can help create a livelier presentation such as Images, Shapes and Videos.

Multimedia refers to the use various forms of media to communicate; this


includes texts and images.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 81
KID’S PHOTOGRAPHY

In our sample adventure, experiencing the beauty of Autumn is followed by the


chill of Winter. It's now time to think of the next memorable event you have
experienced in your own adventure.

Since our sample presentation now focuses on another memorable event


which is Winter, a background image of snow will be used.

Inserting Images

Apart from texts which we can be added to our presentation, we can also add
other elements such as images. It is important to note that inserting images is
different from adding background images.

Images used for the background is meant to cover the space they are allotted
for. On the other hand, inserting images into our slides is meant to support the
texts.

How can we insert images? There are 2 to do this: through the Standard
Toolbar and the Menu Bar.

The Image... button in the Standard Toolbar can be found


beside the Text Box button.

82 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 4

The Image... button in the Menu Bar can be found in the


Insert menu.

Whichever method we use, both will lead to the Insert Image pop-up window.

There are 2 easy ways to insert an image. The first


method is Upload which can be done by simply
clicking Choose an Image to Upload.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 83
KID’S PHOTOGRAPHY

A pop-up window where you can search for the location of the image will
appear. Search and select the image to be inserted and click Open.

An upload status bar will appear indicating the progress of the photo being
uploaded.

84 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 4

When done, the image will be inserted into our presentation.

Another method for inserting an image is using the By URL option.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 85
KID’S PHOTOGRAPHY

Simply copy the URL of the image to be inserted and paste it in the text box
provided. A preview of the image will be displayed to verify whether the
correct URL was copied. If yes, click Select and the image will be inserted in the
presentation.

To copy the image URL, select a photo that you want to


insert in the presentation.

Then right click on the image then select Copy Image


URL. The list of available options will depend on the
browser you are using.

Let us move the image we have chosen -- in this example, a snowman -- to the
lower right corner of the presentation, flip it then proceed. Make sure you pick
images that fit the theme of your adventure.

86 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 4

Inserting Shapes

Another multimedia element we can add to our presentation is called Shape.


These are already preset with only a limited number of available types to
choose from. Use shapes only when necessary. In this example, we will insert
shapes to illustrate our snowman's thoughts.

Similar to adding images, there are two ways through which shapes can be
added to our presentation: the Standard Toolbar and the Menu Bar.

In the Standard Toolbar, the Shape button can be found


beside the Image... button.

In the Menu Bar, the Shape button can be found in the


Insert menu.

Whichever method we choose to use, clicking the Shapes button will access
available shapes that can be inserted in our presentation.

Though shapes are limited, there are more than enough to choose from. For
this example, we will insert Cloud Callout from the Callouts category of Shapes
to illustrate the snowman's thoughts.

Shapes is divided into four categories as defined by their use. For instance
Arrow Shapes can be used to represent direction while Callouts can be added
as dialogue or thought bubbles to express character thoughts and speech.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 87
KID’S PHOTOGRAPHY

In this example, select Cloud Callout and click the Slide


Pane and the shape will be inserted. Drag the shape
close to the snowman, just above its head. Resize the
shape about twice its original size.

Notice that there is a small yellow dot at the bottom


edge of the shape. Dragging this around can change
the angle of the shape. Try dragging the Cloud Callout
closer to the snowman.

Type the word ‘SNOW!’ and set the shape alignment


to Center. Feel free to use any shape that suits your
topic and theme.

To complement the winter theme of the slide, edit the shape by changing its
color. Select the shape then visit the Formatting Toolbar and click Fill Color >
Custom. Set the color code to #DCEDF3BE and click OK.

88 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 4

As can be seen in the image above, there is another vertical bar beside the
custom color palette. Also, notice that 2 numbers were added to the color
code. These indicate the transparency of the color which can only be adjusted
when choosing Fill Color.

To finish off the callout's winter-inspired colors, select the shape then click Line
Color and set it to Light Blue 2.

While the callout is selected, change the line weight from 2px to
3px by selecting Line Weight in the Formatting Toolbar.

Change the Font to Handlee Change Text Color to Dark Blue 2

Slide 4 should now look like this.

Inserting Videos

Videos are another type of multimedia element that we can add to our
presentation. Only videos available in YouTube can be inserted in Google Slide.

To insert videos in our presentation, we go to Insert


in the Menu Bar and select Video.

90 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 4

The Insert Video pop-up window will appear, allowing you to search for a video
via YouTube.

Type in keywords to search for your video then press ENTER. Given our example,
we can search a video about snowflakes. Entering specific keywords can help
narrow down search results.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 91
KID’S PHOTOGRAPHY

The search will yield results that list down videos related to your keyword.

Select the video you wish to add and click Select. The video will be added to
the slide just like in the image below.

Let’s move the video a little to the left and top.

TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 4

True or False: Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if otherwise.

(1) Upload and By URL are the only ways to add an image into a
presentation.

(2) All the shapes in Google Slide are classified into four types or
genres which separate them from each other.

(3) For any shape, only Fill Color and Line Color can be used to
change its color.

(4) YouTube is the only source which can provide videos that can be
inserted into our presentation.

Assignment 9: Word Art and Object Order

Now that we have added multimedia elements, it's now time to learn how to
manipulate them by modifying their arrangements. In this assignment, we will
learn how to rotate and arrange elements in our presentation as well as use
Word Art to create more attractive texts.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 95
KID’S PHOTOGRAPHY

Let us design our video by first going to Shapes in the Formatting Toolbar and
then adding a new shape to our slide called Bevel.

Note: For this example, make sure that the Bevel shares the same color as the
Cloud Callout. To do this, select Cloud Callout first before adding Bevel.

96 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 4

Resize the bevel so that it will be bigger


than the video. Since it has the same
color properties as our Cloud Callout, it
will also adopt the same transparency
effect, making it easier to adjust its size.

Clicking the bevel shape will reveal a


small dot similar to that of the Cloud
Callout shape. Drag this to change the
position of the inner square, either closer
to or further away from the center. For this
slide, make the inner square match the
border of the video.

Object Order

Bring the bevel shape behind the video by using Object Order. Select the
bevel shape, go to Arrange in the Menu Bar, select Order then click Send to
Back.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 97
KID’S PHOTOGRAPHY

We can also use the shortcut key CTRL + SHIFT + ↓ from our keyboard for a faster
application of the function. Feel free to adjust the size of the bevel as long as it
is still larger than the size of the video.

Now that we have our bevel shape behind our video, its time to label this slide.
Instead of using text boxes however, we will make use of Word Art.

Word Art

Word Art creates decorative texts that can be used in


documents. It allows users to style texts with “special
effects” that cannot be achieved with standard
formatting tools. To insert Word Art, we go to Insert in
the Menu Bar and select Word Art.

98 TECHNOKIDS INC.
TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 4

However, we must first select our existing Cloud Callout before


adding Word Art to apply the same color effects when a new
Word Art is added.

We can now begin modifying our Word Art.

1
In this example, 4
different Word Arts were
used for the text Winter
Season: "W", "inter", "S"
and "eason" were each
entered in separate text
boxes.

2
Select word arts “W” and
“S” and change their
font to Great Vibes, then
select word arts “inter”
and “eason” and
change their font to Alex
Brush. Feel free to use
other fonts for your
presentation.

Resize "S" and "W" word


arts so that they will
appear bigger than the
"inter" and "eason" word
arts. Then, position the
boxes accordingly.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 99
KID’S PHOTOGRAPHY

We can still improve the style of our Word Arts by following these steps:

1
For this example, first select any of the Word Art boxes.
Create a copy of the selected word art by pressing the
CTRL + C key to copy then CTRL + V to paste.

2
Select the duplicate version and press these arrow keys
on your keyboard. ↑ ↑ ← ←. This will set the duplicate
version exactly on top of the original.

Change the line weight to 8px and set the line color to
white. This will result in a bold style effect to the letter W.

4
Then, send it to back by selecting Arrange in the Menu
Bar or the shortcut key CTRL + SHIFT + ↓ on your
keyboard.

Apply the same changes to all Word Art layers to complete the winter-inspired
theme of the text.

Rotating Objects

Rotating objects allows changes in angle and position but is oftentimes


optional.

To add the finishing touches to our sample slide, select


each word art layer by clicking the mouse and
dragging it so that it overlaps all layers.

A little blue circle will appear on top of the selected


layers.

Click this and move the mouse to the left or right to


rotate all selected layers. In this example, try moving
the mouse a little to the left to tilt it in about 340
degrees. The exact figure of the angle will be
displayed beside the little blue circle when dragged.

Select all 8 word art layers and group them with CTRL + G. Grouping these
layers will treat them like a single layer, making it easier to apply certain
functions.

SESSION 5
ANIMATOR
Aside from combining texts and multimedia, another way to make visual
presentations more appealing is to use animations and transition elements to
create a smooth flow between slides. Furthermore, you may also choose to
create a custom theme. This session will teach us how to animate slides and
create our own themes.

Assignment 10: Adding Transitions

In this assignment, we are going to learn how to add a simple transition to our
existing slides. By adding transitions, we can effectively establish a connection
from one slide to another, instead of slides simply appearing one after the other
without effects. Moreover, this gives the audience a clear idea of the
movement of the presentation and also aids the speaker in terms of the timing
in his/her delivery of the speech.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 111


PHOTO LIGHTING AND EFFECTS

As can be seen in the images below, we currently have 5 slides for our sample
adventure. To make our presentation livelier, we may add Transitions.

Adding Transitions

Using transitions will give our audience cues that signal the entrance and exit of
each slide instead of just simply appearing one after the other. Transitions not
only help the audience keep up with the presentation but they also aid the
speakers with regard the timing of their delivery.

To add transitions to our presentation, go to the


Formatting Toolbar in Toolbar and look for the Transition
button.

112 TECHNOKIDS INC.


TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 5

Click Transition... and the Animation Pane will


appear to the right.

There is currently no transition applied to our


slides yet as specified by Slide: No transition.
Choose a transition type by clicking the No
transition tab which is what appears upon
opening the Animation Pane.

Choose any from the list to apply a transition to


your slide. It is advisable to pick the simplest and
least distracting transition effect.

To apply the same transition to the rest of the


slides in the presentation, click Apply to all Slides
just below the duration bar. This will set a single
transition type for all slides. This can be applied if
we wish to have uniform transitions in all of our
slides.

The duration bar adjusts the speed of the


transition from Slow, Medium until Fast. This bar
can be seen below the chosen transition type.

The fastest transition speed available in Google Slide is 0.0s which is equivalent
to a quick flash, almost like there's no transition effect at all. On the other hand,
the slowest pace a transition can have is 5.0s.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 113


PHOTO LIGHTING AND EFFECTS

When we click and drag the square scroll in the duration


bar, a number indicating seconds will appear for the setter
to know how long the transition would last.

Now, let us apply transitions to our existing slides. We can


press the Play button at the bottom of the Animation Pane
to see the resulting effects.

For a uniform transition between slides, let us apply the transition type “Fade In”
to all of our slides in our sample adventure.

Assignment 11: Adding Animations

Adding animations can help with the overall effects of our presentation. If we
want objects to appear one by one or all at the same time, applying
animations can help achieve this. This assignment will teach us how to add
animations to our presentation. Animations are objects set in motion which can
be added to our slides to create a more interactive presentation. These can
also enliven the look of your slides, easily catching the audience's interest.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 117


PHOTO LIGHTING AND EFFECTS

Adding Animations

To add animations to our presentation, we must first


select the object to which we wish to add an
animation. Then, go to Insert and click Animation.

The animation pane will appear to the right side of


the window with a few options about the
animation effect the selected object may have.
The default settings for animation is shown in the
image.

The first drop down menu bar contains an


available list of possible animation types you can
choose from, with Fade in indicated as a default
option. Each animation type moves in a unique
manner.

There are three types of animation in Google Slide: Entrance, emphasis and exit
animations. Entrance animations are signaled by "in" (e.g. Fade In, Zoom In)
whereas exit animations are represented by "out" (e.g. Fade Out, Zoom Out).
Spin is the only emphasis animation available.

Entrance animations serve as cues marking the entry of objects into a slide. On
the contrary, exit animations cue an object's exit from the slide. Emphasis
animations however, serve to highlight objects to signify their importance.

Next, we have the start condition. This specifies


when the animation will begin. There are three
types of start conditions: On Click, After Previous
and With Previous.

118 TECHNOKIDS INC.


TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 5

"On click" refers to the execution of an animation upon clicking the mouse
button.

“After previous” performs the animation right after any event before it has
been completed.

“With previous” performs the animation at the same time as the event before it.

There is also a duration bar below which


performs the same function as the
transition duration bar, with the fastest
animation speed being 0.0s and the
slowest being 5.0s.

Now that we know how animation works, let us add animation to our slides. Set
the following animation settings to the corresponding objects for each slide.
The animation order for objects should be as listed below. Refrain from using all
animation types in one slide for this can be distracting to your audience.
Instead, limit the number of transitions to 2 transitions per slide.

SESSION 6
PUBLIC SPEAKER
After building our visual presentation, we now have to act as speakers who will
deliver its message. However, memorizing every detail in our slides may be risky
especially when overcome with nervousness. Although we can look at notes
during our speech, we should not just simply read everything all throughout our
speech. In this session, we will learn how to use speaker notes to guide us with
our presentation, Furthermore, we will learn to make our own presentation and
present it to the class.

Assignment 12: Using Speaker Notes

serve as a guide to speakers so that they will not lose track of what they are
supposed to say during their speeches.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 131


A COLLAGE OF MASTERPIECES

Speaker Notes

Speaker Notes are used as cues to help speakers during their presentations.
Speaker Notes should not dictate everything the speaker will say but should
only contain key words.

To use speaker notes, select Click to add notes which can be found at the
bottom of the Slide Pane.

The Speaker Notes which will be added are shown during presentation time.

In our sample presentation, the current slide is about the Winter season. Since
the slide only contains general descriptions about the topic, it is in the Speaker
Notes that we can include more specific descriptions and explanations. For
example, the slide only includes the adjective "Cold" as a description for Winter
but the Speaker Notes provide a detailed explanation which the speaker can
mention in his or her speech.

To view the Speaker Notes during the presentation, we will have to click the
down arrow beside Present then select Present with speaker notes.

This will lead us to a new window showing the Speaker Notes. Using a projector,
we can hide our notes while conducting our presentation. To do this, we have
to project only the presentation slides. It is important that your speaker notes
are hidden from your audience.

132 TECHNOKIDS INC.


TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 6

The Speaker Notes window shows thumbnail previews of the slides to the left,
showing the previous, current and next animation. Below this sequence of slides,
a bar indicating the total number of slides can be seen.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 133


A COLLAGE OF MASTERPIECES

The Speaker Notes also shows the estimated running time of the presentation.
Going back to the 10/20/30 rule, 20 refers to the maximum number of minutes
a presentation should run. Given particular situations however, such as when
we are presenting in front of a large audience, it is possible to exceed 20
minutes. If a time limit is set by either your teacher or someone judging your
presentation, then you should meet the time limit. This will tell you if it is
necessary to speed up the presentation to reach the required time limit.

And lastly the notes that we put in the speaker notes are also shown. For each
slide, a different note is specified.

134 TECHNOKIDS INC.


TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 6

True or False: Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if otherwise.

(1) During presentation, Speaker Notes are visible to the audience


when projected.

(2) Valter noticed that there is a mistake in his notes as he delivers his
presentation. He believes it is possible to edit speaker notes while he is
presenting.

(3) George has included everything he needs to say in his speaker


notes. It is possible to access speaker notes during presentation.

(4) Speaker Notes indicate how long the presentation has been
going.

(5) We can jump from one slide to another during presentation using
speaker notes.

TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 6

Assignment 13: Using Hyperlinks

This assignment will teach us how to use hyperlinks in our slides. Hyperlinks allow
us link objects in our presentation to outside sources and elements or simply to
connect one slide to another.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 137


A COLLAGE OF MASTERPIECES

Hyperlinks

Hyperlinks can establish links between slides, even those that do not come in
succession (e.g. slide 1 linked to slide 5). We can also use hyperlinks to link
webpages into our presentation. For example, we can link Google directly to
our presentation which can be accessed with just one click.

As mentioned earlier, hyperlinks connect slides to one another.

To establish a connection between slides, we need to create slides which will


be linked and an object that will serve as the linking tool.

For example, out of 2 slides, we aim to link slide 1 to


slide 3. To do this, we must first create three slides.

Then we add an object in slide 1 that will act as the


linker to slide 3. The object can be a text, shape or
image.

While the object is selected, in the Formatting Toolbar,


click Insert Link (CTRL + K).

A search bar will appear asking where to link the


selected object. Click Slides in this Presentation, select
slide 3 then click Apply.

Notice that slide 1 is not linked to slide 3 through our shape object. This can be
done to link any of the other slides to one another as long as the slide to be
linked and the object linker are present.

To link slides to a webpage, we must have the URL of the page whose link will
be made available in our slide and the object linker to which the URL will be
embedded.

138 TECHNOKIDS INC.


TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 6

In this example, we will link one of the adjectives included in the slide to an
image found on the internet.

The word Beautiful will be used as the object which will


hold the link of its corresponding image.

We then select an image from the internet which we


want to use to illustrate the meaning of the word then
copy its URL.

Once copied, pase the URL into our link and click Apply to establish the
connection between our slide and the image on the internet.

To remove the link or change it, we first have to select the object to which we
applied the link. The link box will appear when we select that object.

Click Change and the box we can edit the URL of the image will appear.
Clicking Remove will delete the URL which was previously linked to the object
in the slide.

For this sample presentation, we will link each adjective to another image that
best illustrates it. You are also free to link a slide to another existing slide or a
webpage.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 139


A COLLAGE OF MASTERPIECES

True or False: Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if otherwise.

(1) Hyperlinks can link to any webpage with a URL.

(2) When Slide 1 is linked to Slide 3, a link from Slide 3 to Slide 1 is also
established.

(3) An object to serve as the linker must be used to establish a link.

(4) When a link to a webpage has been used by an object, it can no


longer be used by another object.

(5) An object can be linked to its own existing slide.

TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 6

Assignment 14: Sharing Presentation

Sharing our presentation is a great way to let other people view it as well as get
feedback when necessary. When sharing a file to another person, we can set
restrictions to its accessibility in which only certain people can view our
presentation.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 141


A COLLAGE OF MASTERPIECES

Sharing Presentation

In order to share our presentation exclusively to a specific group of people, we


must know their e-mail addresses.

To begin sharing our presentation, first we need to click on the Share button on
the upper right portion of our window.

Click it and a pop-up window called Sharing Settings will appear. Immediately,
the link to our presentation will be highlighted.

Below the Link to share box, options to share our presentation to social media
sites can be found. This option requires us to have an account to any of these
suggested social media sites.

142 TECHNOKIDS INC.


TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 6

Right below the Link to Share box shows a list of people who can access our
presentation. At first, only our name can be seen.

To change the visibility options, click Change... and new settings will appear.

By default, visibility is set to Share Privately which means only certain people we
invite will have access to our presentation. Should anyone else acquire the link,
they will not be able to view our presentation.

A less strict visibility option is Anyone which allows any user who retrieves the link
to be view our presentation.

Public on the web gives no restrictions since it allows anyone who has the link to
access and view our presentation. This may be risky for it could potentially
encourage plagiarism as others can easily copy our work.

Start inviting people by acquiring their e-mail addresses. Once you have, type
in their email address in the Invite people search bar.

TECHNOKIDS INC. 143


A COLLAGE OF MASTERPIECES

To quickly alert the people we have invited to view our presentation, we can
choose to notify them by checking the Notify people via email box.

Restrictions can be further modified by clicking Can edit to the right of the
search bar.

Clicking Can Edit will drop down three options we can choose from to set as
access levels.

Can Edit allows the person to edit our presentation as they please. The tools
and functions in Google Slide are all available for them to use.

Can comment restricts the person’s access to adding comments. He or She is


not allowed to edit any parts of the presentation.

Can view restricts the person’s ability to even comment. He or She is just given
access to see the presentation.

Once you have invited a person to view your presentation, he/she will appear
in the list of people who have access along with his or her access level.

144 TECHNOKIDS INC.


TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 6

If we lack the email addresses of other people we would also like to invite but
others who were invited have their contacts, we can set the editor's ability to
add and change access permissions to our presentation.

To do this, we go to the sentence just above the Done button. Click Change to
start changing the setting.

There are two options to choose from: One is to allow the invited people
(collaborators) to invite other people and change permissions, while the other
is to allow only the owner to perform such tasks.

Adding Comments

When we share a presentation or when a presentation has been shared to us,


we, along with others, can share our insights by adding comments should the
owner want to do the editing all by himself but is open to suggestions. Adding
comments can help speakers improve their visual presentations through the
feedback given by their peers.

To add a comment to a presentation, find the Formatting Toolbar and click


Insert Comment (CTRL + ALT + M).

TECHNOKIDS INC. 145


A COLLAGE OF MASTERPIECES

We will then be able to type in our comments to the slide. A comment can only
be edited by the person who entered it.

A time stamp is also indicated in the comment just below the author's name,
giving us an idea when the comment was posted. Editing the comment will not
change this time stamp.

When the person who made the comment wishes to delete it, he/she can
simply choose to click Delete and the comment will be removed.

When initially a user posts a comment or suggestion which


has been addressed and he or she wishes to inform
everyone else, clicking Resolve will notify other
collaborators that the issue has already been addressed.
This will also delete the comment from the presentation.

Given these guidelines, let us now share our presentation to at least 3 people
and get feedback which could help us improve our presentation.

146 TECHNOKIDS INC.


TECHNOADVENTURER SESSION 6

True or False: Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if otherwise.

(1) Someone who has access to your presentation link can view it in
its default sharing settings.

(2) The owner can change the ownership of his/her slide to


somebody else.

(3) A person who can neither edit nor comment on a presentation


has given the permission level of Can View.
