Do you enjoy playing on the computer and creating fun and colorful projects with images and animation?  Then this class is for you!  In this hands on technology class, students will be taught how to create a fantastic google slide presentation. Students will choose a topic of interest and present their slides in the second class.  Specifically, the topics I will cover will be how to create a fun theme for the slide show, how to choose a layout, add slides and backgrounds, change fonts, add images from the computer or the web, and add animation for a fun and exciting effect.  Additionally, students will learn how to create text boxes, add shapes and lines, fill color, change the text color, and use fun transitions between slides. Students will also learn how to move slides around in the presentation, insert videos and links, and drag images to fit the slides to add "pop" to the project.  
The class will be structured in a manner in which I will create my own google slide presentation and review each of the parts mentioned above.  I highly encourage my students to ask questions and participate aloud.  My teaching style is fun and energetic.  I want communication with my students so I can monitor their understanding of the topic and answer any questions as needed.  
Learners will interact with me during the entire class as well with one another.  

Class 1- Choose a fun topic! Learn the features and icons of a google slide presentation and learn how to create one in class.  
Class 2- Students will present the google slide presentations they created at home with the class.  If time remains, we will create another one on a given topic in class.  

Some knowledge of computers and using google is helpful.
