Participants will take part in learning how to use google slides for something other than creating presentations. During this session, participants will learn how to integrate technology with ELA standards by creating GIF short stories using Google Slides. Using the concept of flipbooks and google slides, participants will develop a short story and create the short story in google slides. Then using a program entitled “tall tweets,” the slides will be exported as a GIF. These GIFs will then be shared with all participants within the session through a shared Wakelet page.
Other similar projects that can be created using google slides will be highlighted as well, with the goal of demonstrating how a widely available tool like Google Slides can be used in a variety of ways in the classroom with a broad range of grade levels and ability levels.
