Every day, I have to publish it to the web to be able to have it play continuously. Is there a way to present it so that it plays continuously? TAKE A SNAPSHOT LIVES ON! Marjorie Rispin (Carson, NV) -- I too was disappointed that GSuite removed Insert Image Snapshot. I found that you can still take a snapshot through Insert Drawing. When in the Drawing you can click the image icon and snapshot is still an option. Then save and close the drawing into your doc. A couple extra steps but it works.

COOL IDEA FROM #GTTRIBE HASHTAG Alexis Snider from Vietnam (via #GTTribe hashtag) shared that her fourth graders wrote informational picture books for an audience of second graders. The students created picture books after studying mentor texts. Then, they used Google Slides to create ebooks and they shared through Padlet. Her students in Vietnam received feedback from students in Colombia!
LINKING SLIDES Meggin Verduzco (Michigan) -- In the episode ' Slides can do what?' You give an example of "hyperlinking" a slide deck. How did you do that? Is it different from a link? I noticed it said 'slide 3' on the link. Can you tell me how to do that? Thanks. CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE! Meggin is working with 5th graders in a Choose your own adventure story/ PBL called The Island! http://digitaldivideandconquer.blogspot.com/ They are soo geeked and adding this would seal the deal! I showed them how to hyperlink, but this is easier. Thanks in advance.THANKS FOR THE APPLE PODCASTS REVIEWS BSalzy -- Every week I am inspired and am able to share new Google knowledge and activities with my teachers and students.
