CT - GAFE - Slides #2 - Creating Slides

Creating new Slides is something that is incredibly easy to do, and follows similar patterns as creating new documents or anything else in Google Drive.


To create new slides, simply hit “New” in Google Drive and select “Google Slides.” Then, in a new window, you will have a fresh slide deck.




Right off the start you will see that you have the opportunity to select a theme for your slides. Much like in PowerPoint, you will see that you have the opportunity to set certain things, such as backgrounds, colors, and typeface to constant throughout the presentation. If you do not see themes that you like, I would highly recommend checking out Slides Carnival, a free site that offers fun and purposeful themes for Google Slides.

Again, please check out the ThingLink images below for assistance in navigating your Google Slides page.

Chromebook Shortcut of the Week - 10/14/2016

This weeks shortcut of the week is to help you project your Chromebook. Due to resolutions, your Chromebook will likely default to the “Extended Screen” mode. If they happens, you will see your desktop background on the screen upon plugging in your Chromebook (your Chromebook needs an HDMI connection, if you need a cable, I can get you one!). In order to change this, you will use the “Ctrl + Full Screen” button. This will quickly switch between the two modes, allowing you to switch back and forth. A quick word to the wise, the extended screen is usually to the right!

When you press and hold the "Refresh" key and the Power button, you Chromebook will reset harder than simply powering down. It will not lose the settings that are on it. This shortcut is a crucial second line in ensuring that our students' Chromebooks are always functioning properly.
