Formerly known as Google Presentation.


Google Slides is a presentation tool that forms
part of the Google Drive suite of online
office applications. it offers many of the
most used features of Microsoft Powerpoint
or Apple Keynote, such as slide templates,
presentation themes, and embedding images and
video
Pros/Advantages
Team Work - Makes group work a lot more convenient
because you can edit slideshow or presentations with
someone else without being in the same room.
Auto Backup - Files automatically backed up. No more
risk of accidentally overwriting a file.
Restore - If a team member or if you manage to mess up
a file, just restore to an earlier or even original version.
Pros/Advantages
Links - Probably one of the simplest out there. Easy to add links
within the presentation, other Google Suite files or internet.
Access - Since the files are on the cloud, access it anywhere i.e.
PC, Chromebook, Android etc.
YouTube - Inserting YouTube videos is easy.
Images - Inserting images is easy. You have a choice of searching
with Slides or just search and then copy over and format as
needed.
Free - Yes it is free!
Cons/Disadvantages
Internet Connection – needs internet connection to function.
Importing -from Powerpoint or Keynote often gives wonky
results - you need to reformat the entire document for it to look
good.
Exporting - is the same problem as some people will prefer to
edit / view it on another device with their prefered software.
You’re powerless to adjust theme colors also limited when it
comes to animations, transitions and music
