Google Presentations


It was just a matter of time before Google stepped into the Presentation software realm. Google created a documents and software program a few years ago, that allowed people to collaborate on a single document in real time, over the Internet. They have recently extended this program to include side show presentations. The program is called Google Docs. It’s a powerful free tool that can be used on an individual/collaborative basis.

Below is a You Tube video that shows how easy it is to create a project. As you will see, the software is very user friendly.

Side Note: “WYSIWYG” means What You See Is What You Get. They make reference to this in the video.

If you are interested in experimenting in this software then you can obtain your free download from:

I don’t know why the link is so long, but it works. This page will provide you with some more detailed information on how Google Docs work.
