10. Mini- Reflection:
Question: How can Google Slides help you share new digital resources and tools for learning?
● Google Slides has become a popular tool for teachers to share with one another as a teaching
method. Google Slides is beneficial to teachers because it allows them to create resources and
share them with other teachers so that they may implement them in their classrooms. Let’s say
that Miss. W is teaching a geometry lesson and Miss. M is teaching an algebra lesson - they both
have created their lessons with Google Slides, however next week Miss. W will be teaching an
algebra lesson and Miss. M will be teaching a geometry lesson; the two teachers can save time
and share their Google Slides with one another. Another effective factor of Google Slides is that it
is not just a presentation resource, but you can include interactive games, provide images, links,
videos, diagrams, and etc. All these digital features establish a positive learning environment that
teachers can construct for their students by sharing and creating more and more Google Slides
and using the tools they provide.
