The "Present" in Presentation

Google Slides presentations.  As educators we make presentations every day for our leaners.  How are we sharing our presentations?  If I want our audience to see the presentation and not all the extra tools you have the ability to share the presentation in a presentation mode with just a few clicks of the mouse!

One way to share a presentation is to change the Share settings to Get shareable link.  In this case, you will see all the toolbars.


There are 2 other options when looking at Publish to Web under the File menu.  The first way is by creating a link.  You can publish the content to be viewable by clicking on a link.  You will need to change the sharing settings to match who you want the presentation viewable by and click the blue Publish button. 



Now when someone clicks on the link it will look like this...


There is also the option to create embed code so that the presentation is embedded in another document. 


One of the features I like best about publishing a presentation to the web is that when ever I make changes to my original document, the link is live and the changes show up automatically for the viewers. I don't have to do anything!

When I am done sharing a presentation I can click stop publishing and it is now no longer viewable by others with the link or a document with the embed code. 


So easy!  And it looks great from the viewers point of view!
