Google Slides!

Creating Google Slides...


Yesterday we learned how to login to Google Chrome and create a Google Slide Show. We will be researching Polar Bears or Seals (depending on which we prefer) next week and creating a multi-page project on Google Slides.

Earlier in the year usernames and passwords were sent home so that students would have a copy at home so they can log in and be editing, sharing and working on projects at home as well as at school. Please let me know: imlagrana@cbe.ab.ca if you need a new one and I can email you your child's username.

Please have your child practise logging in at home and sharing their work as it progresses this upcoming week. They can also share their presentation with me by clicking the blue SHARE button and typing in my username: imlagrana@educbe.ca.

Google Slides is an easy and fun way to share holiday stories or research something your child is curious about and to extend their learning at school.

All this week we will be researching and adding to our slides. Please ask me to share with you what I have done and complete any unfinished slides at home. So far we have learned how to:

-change the font size
-change the colour of the font
-highlight the background of the font
-add a picture from searching google images
-send our picture to the background so we can still see our letters


Monday we will do a page on Appearance and Physical Adaptations. Students will learn how to bold, underline and centre their work. They will continue to learn how to add a picture to their slides. Later in the week we will also learn how to add a link. 

Typing Skills

As we begin to use more technology as an alternative way to create and demonstrate our learning it is important to start building up our typing skills. This will help us to become quick and confident when typing out our ideas.
Here are a few good websites for practising typing. 15 minutes every other day would be a great start to mastering typing!
