Cool Tool Alert -- GIF Library to Spice up Google Slide Decks

 The slide deck is a reliable standard for delivering content. No matter how hard we try, they can become really boring and monotonous. One way to jazz them up is by using GIFs! Those are the little animated images we all have seen but maybe have no idea how to make them or find them. Well, fear not! Eoghan Young on Twitter has compiled a whole bunch of GIFs you can use to add to your Google Slides! Before I get to the link where you can access all these goodies, here are a couple of things to note:

  • The link takes you to a LIVE, EDITABLE slide deck. PLEASE use extreme caution when using this file; you don't want to accidentally wipe out all the work that has been done. Click, copy, and paste with caution and care!
  • The SAFEST way to use this slide deck of GIFs is to make your own copy. Here's how you do that:
    • Click File.
    • Move mouse to Make a Copy.
    • Click Entire Presentation.
  • If you want kids to be able to use these GIFs in their presentations, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT give them access to the original file. PLEASE make a copy!
  • To use a GIF, simply right click it, then choose copy, then go to the slide deck you want to add it to, and right click and then paste. Voila!
