Google Slides - Student Guide
Pdf Summary
This document is a CustomGuide training manual for Google Slides (2019) that walks learners through creating, editing, formatting, presenting, and sharing slide presentations. It begins with setup instructions for course practice files, including changing Google Drive settings to automatically convert uploaded PowerPoint (.pptx) files to Google Slides format, creating a dedicated Drive folder, and uploading the module practice folders.<br /><br />The manual then covers Slides fundamentals: creating a blank presentation or starting from a template, naming files, understanding automatic saving, opening presentations from Drive or from within Slides, and basic file management (rename, star, make a copy, move to a folder, and delete to trash). It also explains printing via “Print settings and preview,” including options like notes, handouts, orientation, backgrounds, skipped slides, and saving as PDF. Help features are introduced, such as searching menus for commands and browsing Slides Help topics.<br /><br />Next, it teaches editing and organizing presentations: inserting slides, choosing layouts, adding text to placeholders, deleting slides, and using cut/copy/paste, undo/redo, repeat last action, and find/replace. It explains adding speaker notes, toggling the notes pane, inserting/removing slide numbers, rearranging slides, skipping/unskipping slides during a show, duplicating/copying slides, and switching between Filmstrip and Grid view.<br /><br />Formatting sections describe text styling (fonts, size, effects, color, capitalization, alignment), borders and fill shading, list formatting, inserting links (web or slide navigation), using Paint format, clearing formatting, applying and updating themes, and editing the master layout.<br /><br />Graphics and animation topics include inserting and formatting shapes and images (crop, mask), arranging objects (rotate, flip, layering, grouping, aligning), using Format options (size/position, recolor, adjustments, shadows/reflections), applying slide transitions, and adding/reordering/removing object animations.<br /><br />The manual also covers inserting objects such as text boxes, charts (linked to Google Sheets for data updates), tables (add/remove rows/columns), diagrams, word art, and videos (YouTube/Drive) with playback options.<br /><br />Finally, it explains delivering presentations (presenting, navigation tools, laser pointer, captions, presenter view with timer, notes, and Q&A) and collaboration features: downloading/emailing, sharing permissions, publishing to the web, commenting and resolving feedback, using version history (view/name/restore versions), and installing/using add-ons.
