I talk about the wonders of Google Slides CONSTANTLY and frequently refer to it as the Swiss Army Knife of G Suite. It can do all kinds of things! In this post, I will show you 25 Things You Didn’t Know Google Slides Could Do.

25 Things You Didn’t Know Google Slides Could Do

Since originally sharing this post in 2018, it has become the #1 post on Shake Up Learning, so I decided to add a podcast version!

The podcast is broken into two episodes (Part 1 and Part 2) and embedded below.

The more I learn about Google Slides, the more versatile it becomes.

Your eyes will be opened when you see what’s possible, and you will see that this list can go far, far beyond just 25.

This post comes from one of my presentations. I’m also embedding and linking to the slides for you!

In this blog post, you will learn some fun little tricks that help you create interactive learning experiences, create images and eBooks, insert audio, charts, and diagrams, as well as, easy stop motion animation.

Please refer to the slides for details and additional resources. This would end up being a 20-page blog post if I typed it out.

What are your favorite ways to use Google Slides in the classroom?
