Google Drive /Presentations

I have been using Microsoft PowerPoint to create presentations for learning and teaching for years.It includes various functions such as slide transitions, animations, word art,inserting texts, images and videos.It can be name and renamed, attached through email and printed.

However, it's my first time to experience Google Presentations which contains all the functions above that I mentioned of Microsoft PowerPoint and it functions more than what PowerPoint can do.For example, students and teachers can move the presentations from device to device without losing information or not having the right program; Google Presentations can be downloaded as the following types of format: PNG, JPEG, SVG, PPTX, PDF, TXT; Videos can be inserted in the presentations from YouTube; importing slides.

The most outstanding feature of Google Presentations different from PowerPoint is sharing, collaboration.Each presentation made in Google Presentations is given a unique Web address that when typed into a Web browser can be viewed or edited depending on the share settings.

The powerful features of Google Presentations greatly meet the Common Core Standards which emphasize the uses of digital media, visual displays, graphics,sound,technology,presentations of critical thinking, creativity and collaboration. The key functions of Google Presentations are collaborative presentations, cloud storage, share presentations with teachers, students and parents, insert image and video, publish presentations to the world, slide transitions and animations, which perfectly help students fulfill the standards mentioned above in different aspects of learning such as speaking and Listening, Science and Math, History and Social Studies, etc. Google Presentations is a powerful and profound app for education.
