Blogger Reflection-Google Slides Add Ons

This week on meredithakers.com, Meredith is sharing about Google Slide features. We use Google all the time at my school and the students use google slides more and more as they are older but I was unaware of these features she shared about today! These google slides add ons are just like add ons for Chrome. Here are steps to add on the extensions:

1. Open google slides
2. Select add-ons from menu bar
3. Choose "Get Add-Ons"
4. Select the add on feature you are interested in (paid for add-ons have a plus sign)

To use the add-ons:

1. Click add-ons from menu bar
2. Select add-on you want to use
3. Separate instructions pop up for the feature you selected

I added two of the add-ons Meredith shared to my google slides account, Flat Icon and Magical rainbow Unicorn. Flat Icon is an add-on that gives you many different icons to choose from to add to your Google Slides presentation. I found the instagram or email icons would be useful for parent presentations like Open House when showing contact info. You can also search for any icon you need in the search bar. I have included a picture of screen when testing out this add-on. 

Magical Rainbow Unicorns is an add-on that allows you to use fun fonts and text colors. I have added a sample of my screen with this add-on too. 

There are so many add-ons to choose from! I am going to keep searching to find more ways to enhance Google Slides. I hope you will check it out too!
