Google Slides

What is Google Slides?

Google Slides is a part of the Google Suite of applications. It is an online presentation tool you can use to create, edit, and share slide decks.

Multiple people can work on a presentation at the same time. You can see changes as they are made, and changes are saved automatically.

Collaborate in a Google Slide 

When a Google Slide is shared, multiple users can work on the presentation in real time and collaborate.  
When more than one person is in a Google Slide the same time, you will see an icon for each person at the top of the presentation. 
Each person's cursor is a different color. This helps to prevent others from typing over one another or deleting one another's work.
