I have used Google Slides to allow students to work collaboratively on an assignment which they contributed their work and then commented on others. I really liked the Q&A feature and will look to test that out in the near future.

I am going to try using slides as a mini presentation of learning for classmates and parents to view the stages of a maker [compound machines] project from conception to completion.  The collaboration features should make this a lot easier than ways I have had them present in the past. It will also show the progression in a much clearer way.

I'm using Google slides as an end project my students could choose to do.  They are going to create a "Biome Book" describing information about the different biomes.  Each biome is going to be a "page" in the book. Here is an intro video I made for my students to see if this is the type of project they want to do to complete the unit.

I came across this resource on Twitter. Have a look at what others have said about teaching with Slides: http://www.alicekeeler.com/2015/04/17/using-google-slides-to-teach/

The hyperlinking abilities combined with the powerful sharing and collaborative tools of Slides makes this app extremely versatile. Like Jordan said, Slides do not need to be used in a linear format either. If students are offered some structures, Slides can easily be used to create an easy to use e-portfolio, where students can link artifacts and reflections of learning. The scope can be large or small...even one unit, where students are able to provide evidence of learning.

We've really shifted our thinking around Slides, in that we see it as both a slide deck and a resource that allows all learners to go at their own pace and choose their own learning path. We always invite learners "into" the slide deck and design it with multiple learning pathways in mind. Here's an example of a slide deck on GSuite Essentials that we used during the Summer Pro-D with that very approach:

Students just finished a small research project and they were required to teach what they learned to the rest of the class.  I recommended Google Slides as a visual(their choice of course) over the traditional Power Point (no collaboration) or Prezi (totally public).  Many students gave it a try and were thrilled and pretty amazed at the ease of collaboration. They loved seeing each other contribute in "real time".  They figured out lots of the features pretty quickly. (one group embedded a Youtube video. Lots used the animation feature for text. Hey Jordan!  Can we use your tutorials with students?? Great resource to help them out.

My teaching team uses Slides to present visual instructions to our students, including video, and collaborate on plans with each other. I'm excited for my students' guardians to complete the GSuite consent so I can start inviting students to create their own slide decks.

As a "getting to know you" activity, I had students create their own slide and add pictures, videos and text to describe themselves. I then had them make positive comments on each others as well as constructive criticism for improvement. They had a lot of fun, and it was good to have them be accountable for their work. They knew others would see it so they stepped it up!

I haven't used a lot, but it has been great for my kids to be able to collaborate at home. Did find this awesome ANIMATION created with Google Sides:

Rob Parker and I are carrying out the same unit work right now, and both of us are using the Google Classroom to help give our students voice & choice, ownership over their own learning, and also the chance to dive more deeply into what they are most interested in, but we are taking slightly different routes to get there. My students have been learning about biomes for some time now and I am using Google Slides to provide them with an opportunity to 'show what they know.' My students have been divided up into six groups of five and they are each responsible for completing two slides within the presentation (we have already co-constructed all of the criteria for each part of the assignment). They are each also required to create a reflection statement about their learning. I have also built in a requirement for them to review their group mates' slides and provide feedback using the comment feature. I have also put in an additional 'Resources' slide with some of the online resources that we have been using in our learning up to this point. I love that I can easily embed links and videos so seamlessly into Slides. Honestly, if it had the necessary interactive features that SmartNotebook has, I would be switching to it as my main lesson delivery platform. We start this Slides project next week, so hopefully it will all go well and if not, we'll all learn from it together.

Our learning community had students use slides to create a student led conference conversation starter, including samples of work and student goals. The Students shared these Slides with their parents on our parent teacher nights, and were asked to share at home with parents who did not attend the evening. Check this one out: https://goo.gl/jmq9Nz

I've recently started a project where students will use Google Slides to create a poster for the silent reading novel. Not sure how it is going to turn out, as I usually do this project physically, but I'm excited to see what the students come up with. I will hopefully be able to post some examples soon! :)
