Google Presentations

I recently used Google Docs (Google Presentations) for the first time. It is incredibly easy to use, and for the most part, it is comparable to Microsoft's PowerPoint software. Of course, there are some things that Microsoft has that Google Docs does not, but in the same way, there are benefits to using Google that Microsoft doesn't have.

Benefit #1: IT IS FREE! Microsoft Power Point can be an expense that many students cannot afford. Google Presentations comes free with your google account.

Benefit #2: Google Docs stores the PowerPoint to your account. Saving the document is not necessary. Your document will be there until you delete if from your account!

Benefit #3: It is super fast! Sometimes you can get bogged down in all the options and design features when using Microsoft's PowerPoint. The benefit of Google Docs is that it has great design feature, but it is less work to make the presentation presentable.

Benefit #4: The designs of Google Docs are really nice, clean layouts. I was able to create the example below in LESS THAN 30 MINUTES!

Benefit #5: Because Google is already a search engine, it is less of a hassle to incorporate images into the presentation.
