How Machines Learn - And What Facebook Knows About You More Recent Articles Three FAQs from New Google Slides Users I have hosted hundreds of G Suite webinars and workshops over the last eight years. In that time there have been some questions that I learned to address early on because people always ask them. Here are three questions that I frequently hear from new Google Slides users. Learn more about Google Slides in my on-demand course, G Suite for Teachers. 1. What if I want a copy of the slides in case the internet connection in my classroom isn't working? There are two solutions to this problem. First, you can download your slides as a PowerPoint file. To do that simply select "download as" then select "Microsoft PowerPoint" from the "File" drop-down menu while viewing your Google Slides.  The other option for accessing your slides without an internet connection is to enable offline access for your Google Drive account on your computer. To enable offline access, open the gear icon in the upper-right corner of your Google Drive dashboard. Then select "settings" and check the "Offline" option. (Please note that it enabling offline access is not recommended on a shared computer).  2. Can I insert videos that are not on YouTube? Until earlier this year you could only use videos that were hosted on YouTube. In February of 2017 that changed when Google started to let you insert videos from your Google Drive account without using YouTube.     3. How do I add transitions/ animations to my slides? This is the question about Google Slides that I am asked more than any question. There are two ways to add transitions between slides. First you can simply right-click on a slide in the the slide navigator on the left side of your screen. When you right-click on a slide you will see a menu appear. In that menu there is an option to "change transition." Selecting "change transition" will open a new menu to the right of your slides. That menu will let you choose a transition to apply to your slides. The other way to open the transitions menu is to select "transition" from the menu of options appearing across the top of  your slide editor.  The animation options appear in the same menu as transitions. Open the transitions menu the click on an object in your slides to animate it. Once you have selected an object on a slide you will see a menu of animation options appear on the right side of your slide.  This post originally appeared on Free Technology for Teachersif you see it elsewhere, it has been used without permission.               Related Stories G Suite for Teachers - An On-demand Course Starting in January Updated List of Chromebooks That Support Android Apps Classmint - Online Flashcards With Annotated Images   • Email to a friend • Merry Christmas!

You may have heard of an ed tech start-up or two that is touting how machine learning and or artificial intelligence will help them help students. But what is machine learning? CGP Grey recently tackled that topic in a new video.   After you watch CGP Grey's video consider the information within it as you think about the screenshot I have posted below. It's one that I took on Friday morning while scrolling down the Free Technology for Teachers Facebook page. You'll see that it tells me the demographic with which my video is most popular. If you have ever doubted that Facebook is watching what you watch, look at this little insight from my Facebook page. pic.twitter.com/Hz0xhlHEQI — Richard Byrne (@rmbyrne) December 22, 2017 This post originally appeared on Free Technology for Teachersif you see it elsewhere, it has been used without permission.               Related Stories Classmint - Online Flashcards With Annotated Images Image Search, Science, and Math - The Week in Review Three Good Sources of Fun and Interesting Math Challenges   • Email to a friend • More Recent Articles Why Should You Read Charles Dickens? - A TED-Ed Lesson Image Search, Science, and Math - The Week in Review Three Apps That Solve Math Problems Through a Picture Updated List of Chromebooks That Support Android Apps Classmint - Online Flashcards With Annotated Images
