Grid View in Google Slides (it’s the #littlethings)
Sometimes the little things can make you so happy. Over the past several years I was able to fairly happily migrate most of my presentations from those more robust presentation platforms to Google Slides because it is so darn portable and sharable and because it so encourages collaboration.

Post-production is what makes your media feel professional and done. But not everyone has access to, or the chops to use, a robust video […]
