We use Google Slides all the time. Every "What Does This Button Do?" show has a slide show that we go thru during our presentation. It's free, it's easy and it is oh-so-simple to share and collaborate. It is presentation software, just like PowerPoint and I realize that most of our audience do not make presentations, so Google Slides is not one of our normal things to teach, but I thought you might like to see how easy it is to do other things.

This image was created 100% in Google Slides

We'll show you how, in the image above, we:

• *Created the beer-drinking squirrels using AI built right in to Google Slides
• Added the colorful text using WordArt in Google Slides
• Added the photo of Jim and Chris from Google Photos
• *Removed the background from the Jim and Chris photo
• And, finally, how we saved the image from Google Slides to a .jpg
• *=not available to everyone

Photo Slide Shows

Does anyone remember the way Picasa Web Albums allowed us to embed an album as a slide show in a blog post or elsewhere? It would sure be nice to get that capability back! Meanwhile, you can create something similar using photos from Google Photos and making the slideshow with Google Slides. See this blog post for an example.
