Google Docs Presentation

For Part 1 of this week's practical experience, I chose to use Google Docs Presentation to put together the slides that I would be using for my SymbalooEDU One Minute Commercial. The tool was as simple to use as PowerPoint and was easily downloaded as a PowerPoint file to my computer. Once in PowerPoint, I was able to save the slides as images, for use in my iMovie production.

So why not just put the presentation together in PowerPoint? For this project it really didn’t matter, but for a collaborative group project, the ability to have the document shared by multiple users would be invaluable. The need to own the PowerPoint program would be virtually eliminated for the shared users.  Also, the original presentation would be safely stored online, easily accessible with an Internet connection.
