SlidesCarnival: it will make you feel better about templates (and about Slides in general)
I make lots of presentations and I use presentations as a platform for instruction. For so many reasons, Google Slides is my go-to platform for creating presentations these days: It’s collaborative.

PopBoardz allows you to organize the content you need and easily present from your iPad, iPhone or Mac desktop. For educators, it can […]
How to host a hackathon (on the #sljhackathon breakfast)

The panels were engaging and interactive. The mix of practitioners included a wide range of ages. A youth presence was obvious! When SLJ […]
