In this webinar, learn some of the dos and don'ts of creating a good electronic presentation. Discuss elements such as proper layout, amount of text, backgrounds, and fonts. Leave with ideas you can apply to your own presentations or share with your students.

Go Google for Presentations. Have you ever wanted students to collaborate on presentations outside of class, but file sharing and logistics were a problem?

In this session, we cover a presentation application that easily solves all of these problems – Google Presentations. Learn step-by-step how to build a Google Presentation of your own.
