One of the greatest strengths of Google Slides is that you can start using it immediately. There's nothing to download, nothing to install, nothing to pay, and very little to learn. As long as you have a Google account, you can create a slideshow, collaborate with others on it, and present it quickly and easily. Slides has a few bonuses, too, such as the ability to generate a unique URL at which an audience can submit questions to you, the presenter, in real time. It's a fantastic slideshow creation and presentation service, especially for collaboration, but it's missing a few things provided by Editors' Choices Microsoft PowerPoint and Apple Keynote.

Note that Google Slides is one component of the Google Docs office suite, and that there is also a version of it in G Suite, the for-pay version of Google Docs for businesses, which used to be called Google Apps for Work. We'll have updated reviews of both complete suites soon.

The three apps mentioned above-Google Slides, PowerPoint, and Keynote-are standard slideshow creation and presentation tools (I'd also call them excellent productivity apps), each of which have their own limitations in terms of creativity, however. If you're in the mood for something less conventional, Prezi is PCMag's other Editors' Choice and strong recommendation. Prezi uses a canvas instead of a slide deck, and it works very well for material that becomes lackluster when presented in a linear fashion. If you're looking for something truly different, consider Prezi.

Pricing

As mentioned, Google Slides is free to use with a Google account. That said, you might want to know what other presentation software costs to get a sense of the value. Unfortunately, the prices are all over the map. Because they're so inconsistent, it's really hard to gauge their relative values. Of course, Slides is free, and that should be a bonus in anyone's book.

One of the most expensive apps is Prezi, which offers four tiers of service, including a free one. The problem with the free service is that all the presentations you make with it are viewable, searchable, and reusable to the public. For many people, that's not going to cut it. The first paid tier of service with Prezi is called Enjoy, and it costs $59.04 per year (it's listed as $4.92 per month. A Pro account costs $159 per year, and a Pro Plus account runs $240 per year.

PowerPoint, perhaps the biggest competitor in the presentation space, costs $69.99 per year when you buy a Personal subscription to Microsoft Office . For that price, you get much more than just PowerPoint, though. You also get Word, Excel, Outlook, Publisher, and Access. That's six apps for about $10 more than the lowest cost Prezi subscription. For an extra $30 ($99.99 per year), you can get an Office Home subscription, meaning up to five computers can have the same apps installed on them.

Apple Keynote is the other well-known presentation and slideshow software, and it has the lowest non-free sticker price: $19.99-a one-time flat fee. However, it's typically included when you purchase a new Apple computer or tablet. So, while it's not technically "free," a lot of people end up not having to pay extra for it. Additionally, the online version of Keynote that's available on iCloud.com is free to use by anyone who has an iCloud account.

Interface and Learning Curve

If you've used any presentation apps in the past, you'll find that Google Slides is easy to learn. The interface is clear and recognizable, with toolbars at the top, notes at the bottom, a preview of your slides at left, and your workspace for the current slide in the middle. If you click on a tool that requires a little extra screen real estate to use, such as theme or transition, it will appear on the right.

Most of what you need to create a basic slideshow either is visible or becomes visible when you need it. For example, when dragging elements around the slide, guides appear to help you find alignment with other elements or the center of the page. Click on a text element, and typeface options pop in the menu bar. It's all very simple and straightforward.

Because Slides is in the G Suite, you'll find other Google-related options at the ready, too. For example, if you select to add an image to a slide, your options include locating an image within Google Drive or one that you've used in other Google apps prior. When embedding a video, a search bar for YouTube appears right in the finder.

Supported file formats for exporting a slideshow include PowerPoint (.pptx), PDF, and plain text, and for single slides, JPG, PNG, and SVG. Missing is a video format, such as MP4, which PowerPoint supports. With Keynote, you can export a presentation to a QuickTime video. PowerPoint also supports the ability to import audio, which could be anything from music to a pre-recorded voiceover, while Google Slides doesn't have that capability.

Google Slides has a good selection of transitions and effects, but not nearly as many as PowerPoint or Keynote. And while it's a solid app for creating good old fashioned slide decks, it doesn't do anything out of the box. Other apps do, or at least try to. Prezi, for example, has you create a presentation by giving you a canvas and letting you decorate it with text, images, shapes, videos, and so forth. You can use the canvas however you like. Then to create your presentation, you maneuver a viewer to zoom in or out on different parts of the canvas in an order that you set.

PowToon is another app that treats presentations in a totally different way. PowToon's area of focus is in animation. The idea of PowToon is that sometimes short animated videos are more powerful than traditional slide decks. PowToon relies heavily on templates, which is to say, the animations are already created and you just customize them with a few bits of text and images. In the end, it doesn't require as much skill to learn to use as true animating software, but you also can't create something that's truly custom or unique with it.

Collaboration

Google apps have always been strong when it comes to supporting collaboration. Other apps are now catching up and adding more collaboration features, too.

With Slides, you can share a slide deck with others and control the permission level, letting them view only, comment only, or edit the presentation.

Just as in Google Docs and other G Suite apps, when someone joins your project, their name and a coordinating color appear at the top of the screen. When they edit, their cursor placement and the element being changed are highlighted. You can chat with collaborators in real time in a small chat box that appears in the lower right corner. Everyone with permission beyond read-only can also add comments to the slides.

The ease of collaborating in Google Slides is a huge perk. You don't have to worry about recipients owning a copy of the software or anything other than whether they have a Google account and an Internet connection. Also, because Google Slides is already online, you never have to worry about doing anything special with your slideshow first to make it accessible, the way you sometimes do with desktop software.

Other slideshow apps do support collaboration too, some better than others. Prezi has pretty simple options. You can add up to ten other people to work on a presentation with you, and all you need are email addresses to invite collaborators. Apple Keynote has some newly added collaboration capabilities, though they are technically in beta as of this writing. With Microsoft PowerPoint, you have to first save the slideshow to the cloud (such as into your OneDrive or SharePoint space) and then invite people, and your collaborators have to be using PowerPoint 2010 or later, or the latest release of PowerPoint Online for it to work.

Presenting With Google Slides

You can present your slideshows right from Google Slides or you can export them to another format to show them off via another tool. There are a few benefits of using Google, though.

One is that you can take audience questions in real time. Google Slides has a tool that lets you quickly generate and share a URL where audience members can submit questions. Those questions are relayed back to you, the presenter, and you can address them (or not) at any point during your talk.

Another benefit is that you can make the presenter notes visible to you without putting them on the screen, something other apps sometimes handle in a most clumsy way. Google Slides includes a pointer tool, so you can actively point out important aspects of your slides.

Best Free Presentation Tool

Google Slides is the best truly free presentation app you'll find, strong on collaboration and with a few special touches. It doesn't have as many effects as PowerPoint or Keynote, and you can't export your final product into a video. But it's a reliable app for creating slide decks.

If the idea of watching one more slideshow makes you want to tear your hair out from boredom, try Prezi instead. It changes the way you can present material, which can be better for certain kinds of information.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
As with most teaching tools, successful classroom use of Screencastify will depend on how well teachers harness its potential to match their particular needs. There are effective uses for both teachers and students: Teachers can record themselves to create a flipped classroom, explain difficult concepts, recap the day's main objectives, demonstrate an idea, or give students audio or video feedback on their work. They can communicate with parents as well, explaining procedures or bringing a personal touch to the traditional classroom newsletter. Students can use Screencastify to demonstrate what they've learned or how they solved a problem, give presentations, catch up their absent peers, make and read ebooks, or practice reading aloud in a foreign-language class.

Administrators can use it too: facilitating virtual faculty meetings, sharing professional development, or providing training for new employees. For educators who need even more ideas, the wide variety of support options available will help them brainstorm the best uses for Screencastify in and out of school.

Kahoot! is a game-based learning platform that brings engagement and fun to 1+ billion players every year at school, at work, and at home.

# data[].attributes.body
Kahoot is a great way to check for understanding and to check where the students are at in terms of their learning. Best part of it, that you can "test" them in a fun, engaging way! Kahoot can also be used for fun games, like trivia, getting to know each other, etc. It doesn't have to be only related to academic topics.
You can use Kahoot at the beginning of class to assess the student's current knowledge, or what they remember from last class. You can use it at the end of class as exit tickets, or during the lesson to check for understanding. Students can also create their own Kahoots and test each other out before a test. I used it as a getting to know you activity, where the kids crated a Personal Kahoot (with facts about them) and their classmates had to take it. Super fun! The possibilities are endless.

Kahoot!, a student-response tool for all platforms, allows teachers to run game-like quizzes and build presentations with embedded quizzes. Teachers can either create their own quizzes or find, use, and/or remix public quizzes. Kahoots can be presented live or assigned for self-paced learning. During live Kahoots, questions with answer choices get projected onto a classroom screen while students submit responses using an internet-connected device (computer, tablet, or phone). Questions and polls can contain images and video to help further appeal to all learners. For live Kahoots, teachers can choose between Classic mode and Team mode. The Team mode allows groups of students to cooperate with each other and compete against other teams. Assigned Challenges can be completed asynchronously, but students still earn points for their quick responses and compete against their classmates; the leaderboard appears after all participants have responded. Playing a game of Kahoot! doesn't involve student accounts, only a game PIN from the main screen and a gameplay name for each participant.

With a free account, created quizzes can be multiple choice or true and false, and creators can adjust the time limit and point value for each question. Premium accounts add more options, including multi-select options for quizzes.

"Seesaw is a platform for student engagement. Teachers can empower students to create, reflect, share, and collaborate. Students “show what they know” using photos, videos, drawings, text, PDFs, and links. It’s simple to get student work in one place and share with families, and nothing is shared without teacher approval." (Seesaw site)

Seesaw (formerly known as Seesaw: The Learning Journal) is a robust digital portfolio and interactive learning platform where teachers can create meaningful multimedia experiences for students. To get started, teachers can manually enter students or integrate classes from Google Classroom. If younger students don't have email accounts, there's also an option for them to sign in using a QR or text code. Whether teachers create their own activities or draw from the extensive library of teacher-created and rated content, assigned tasks engage students with a variety of work in the form of videos, photos, text, images, files, and drawings. Teachers follow up by approving posts, offering feedback, and, if desired, making items accessible to families via the Seesaw Parent and Family app (available online and via Android or iOS). Since teachers can view all students' submissions at once, it's an easy way to check for whole-class understanding. Teachers can also enable peer-to-peer feedback or create a class blog to encourage a richer, more connected experience. For added security, blogs can be password protected, and teachers moderate posts before they are made public.

Designed with an intuitive interface, Seesaw logically leads teachers through processes such as creating assignments, recording directions, providing student feedback, and sending one-to-one or group messages to students, parents, or families. Translation is available if the device language settings are different from the original message. The Help Center provides lots of support as well as professional development online for teachers. A paid upgrade allows adding and tracking of skills mastery, portfolios that travel with kids from year to year, multipage posts, and more.
