Reflection:
 

I really enjoyed working with Google Slides. I felt it was less complex than Power Point, so an awesome choice for students to learn the Power Point basics and be able to create great slide show presentations. I can see myself using Google Slides because it is so easy to access. Anyone with a Google account can quickly pull up their projects they are working on from any computer. A student can work on their assignment from home or at school, easily. As an assessment tool in the classroom, I can see creating slides with questions on them that the students can answer on their own. This would take some of the testing anxiety away when I move away from a traditional test passed out on a paper. Seeing questions and pictures on a colorful, non-intimidating (and even humorous) format can alleviate some testing anxiety. I really like what Google Slides has to offer.
