Google Slides Smackdown

Add music to your Google Slides easily: The Ultimate Guide
Good Afternoon Class, 

     The topic that I chose for my Smackdown Presentation is Google Slides. Now what is Google Slides? Google Slides is a presentation program that was included as part of the free, web-based Google Docs Editors suite which is offered by Google. There are other programs that are associated with Google Slides, and they are Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Drawings, Google Forms, Google Sites, and finally Google Keep. All of these programs are offered by Google. Google Slides lets you create and format presentations and be able to work with other people. 
    
    Google Slides has slight advantages then PowerPoint. Google Slides has 26 templates to chose from, while PowerPoint only has 19. Google Slides is free to use, while PowerPoint you may need to purchase the software or subscribe to Office 365 in order to access these features. Google Slides you can access your presentation anywhere, where as for PowerPoint you need a desktop or mobile device. 

    Why did I chose Google Slides? I chose Google Slides because it has been my go to app with presentations for years. I had used it in High School, in my previous college courses, and still using it today. I have lost connection, my computer has died before and with all of that my work has saved and it brings me right back to where I left off. Googles Slides is a great app to use, and if you have not tried it out already, give it a try you may like it and be using it in the future. 

Thank You!

 Good morning,  After reviewing Chapter Two of the Connected Educator it talks about Practice a lot. Practice is a big part of our lives. If we don't practice how do we get better at something? I thought about all the times that I had to practice at something to get better. When I was younger practicing writing out my name, while I was playing sports you would practice to get better at the sport, we practice everyday do make ourselves better. There is always something you can work on. Whether is be work, school, sports, even doing something on a daily basis requires practice. When you start a job, they train you until they think you are ready. Every job that I have had up to date, I needed to train and practice so that I could excel at my position. My parents always told me that nothing is ever handed to you and you always should work hard and strive to be the best. It also talks about Diversity. What is Diversity? Diversity is  the practice or quality of including or involving peo

Good Morning Class,  I n ch apter 5 you will read and learn about how to promote and how to have success in your networking. One term that they point out in chapter 5 is "bookmarking". They define bookmarking as a way to organize the content that you search online an d grouping it together. The content that you search online can include either websites, pictures, and blogs that you can access. Also in chapter 5 they discuss an example of bookmarking and the example that they use is called Dingo. The app Dingo is a very helpful app if you decide to use it, and the brief rundown of Dingo is that it is an app to help you gather information from different websites and store it on your computer. Before starting this class I have never used blogger before, but since I have started using it, not only am I gathering information on different subjects, but I am learning new things from people who have a different stance on the subject than I do. There are many different ways you can ex

 Good Morning,      There are people who set goals to achieve what and where they want to be. Others don't set goals, and sometimes have trouble finding what they want to do and where they would like to be. One term that was brought up was Networking. Now what is Networking? NetWorking is  is  t he exchange of information and ideas among people with a common profession or special interest, usually in an informal social setting . With Networking you not only provided people with your idea on the topic, but you also gather other opinions on the topic. With this it makes you think about how your idea may be the same as the others, or how it may be different than others. We have so many helpful tools now then we did before. We can use these tools and the knowledge that we have we can go as far as we try. As we try and navigate Networking, take some things into consideration and ask yourself is this person a professional and from what background do they come from? From doing this not on
