Beginner Level
In this live 3-day class, students will become confident, creative users of Google Slides. We’ll move step-by-step through the basics—learning how to insert and format text, add images and links, draw with shapes, and design fun slides. Each class begins with a short demonstration, followed by hands-on practice, creativity challenges, and time for questions and sharing. Learners will build a personal project slide during the final session using all the skills they’ve gained. This class is perfect for beginners or students who know the basics but want to get more confident using Slides for school or creative fun. My teaching style is supportive, upbeat, and designed to help students feel successful and excited to share what they’ve created.
