Did You Know? AutoPlay Google Presentations

Did you know that there is a way to automatically advance your Google Presentation to the next slide? All you have to do is publish your presentation to get these additional options. How it Works When you are editing your Google Presentation, simply click " File ", then select, " Publish to the web ". Then simply go down to the option that reads, " Automatically advance presentation to the next slide " and select preferred amount of time between slides. In addition, you can even get your presentation's " Document link ", " Embed code " and you can even change the " Presentation size ". Finally, you can also choose to "start your slideshow as soon as the presentation loads", and to "restart after the last slide". These settings are particularly helpful if you plan on embedding your presentation into a website, or if you plan to share the presentation with others. Here's

He became very negative and cynical regarding our education system today. Toward the end of the blog post I was refreshed to read that he persevered and re-instilled hope and faith, both in himself and the field of education. However, there was once particular section of the blog post that I found to be very controversial, and I realized that many educators share the author's same frustration. I decided to put a positive spin on the issue to help remind educators that we need to continue to be resilient by motivating and inspiring our colleagues, future teachers, and our students to be the best that they can possibly be, especially when times are tough! Below is an excerpt from the blog post, " Why I Continue Teaching " As the weight of proposals such as these and standardized testing crushes my innovation, imagination, and cr
