Introduction to Google Workspace: Slides - Part 1

Google Slides is a cloud-based presentation application that allows you to design slide decks and collaborate.

You can format text on your slides using smart-editing and styling tools.

You can also add and edit a variety of non-text elements, including images, videos, tables, and graphs and present your ideas to a large group, like a team meeting or a conference.

In this lesson, you will create a basic presentation in Google Slides.

This lesson uses a planning presentation for a fundraiser organized by a community group.

But you can apply these skills in any presentation.

As you complete this project, you will: add slides to a presentation, choose a theme and format your slides, copy, paste, and link Slides from another slide deck, format text, work with lines and shapes, add transitions and animations, and preview your slides in presentation mode.
