Google Slides are a great way to do so many things!

Why use them (and not PowerPoint, for example…) ?

You can give free rein to your imagination and creativity and create virtual worlds. You can create classrooms, libraries, escape rooms … practically, any scene!

Here’s an example:

What about a ‘room’ which recreates a scene (here: ‘Goldilocks and the 3 bears’) with active links on some objects of the scene? Or a classroom (with a teacher showing various videos and/or resources on the Letter Aa?)

But this is not the case here!

In this case I used a Google Slide Presentation to present the vocabulary of a text by immediately connecting the word to its meaning (sometimes reinforced with pictures) and its pronunciation. Magical, right?
