Presenting with Google Slides

[Chris Meredith]

Greetings all.

So I not infrequently need to give presentations for my team and/or my managers, and my company loves the Google. A problem I seem to continually have, though, is that, with Slides in Presentation Mode, ChromeVox doesn’t particularly like reading my actual slide, at least on the Mac I use for work. Any of you have workarounds for that? Does it work better with Chrome OS? I’d prefer not to fall back on Power Point or Keynote, but can if there’s no other choice. Also schlepping my <sarcasm>oh so heavy</sarcasm> Acer Chromebook on days when I’m presenting is not out of the question, if that helps.

I write my slides in Pandoc MarkDown, then convert them to HTML and use a
browser to give the presentation. I find that HTML Slidy is reasonably
accessible and works well; it's also supported by Pandoc.

If you truly prefer to work online, there may be a Web service that can
perform the document conversion for you.

You could use Chrome to deliver the presentation.

Under OS X, TextMate is a reasonable text editor, but, in my view, the
combination of Linux and Emacs remains superior to the competition.

OH wow, tell me more? I'm actually working on something in markdown but if I need to present this, or write a presentation for a teacher for class, do I write the sides in separate md documents and convert them to html? Or what. Assuming of corse the prof lets me turn in an html document.

You write the slides as a single Markdown document (a heading separates each
slide). You then convert it to an HTML document that includes scripts which
handle the slide presentation in the browser. It's all done with command line
options to Pandoc.

How shareable is the presentation?  They do LOVE to share out slides after a presentation.  If it’s HTML + scripts, I presume I could just archive it and share it out on Drive.

So far as I know, you should easily be able to share the presentations. You
can also convert a presentation into a single document in various formats.
Pandoc also supports automatic citations and bibliography generation.

You should be able to expand a Google Chrome window to full screen and use it
to give the presentation. You could also upload the presentation to a Web
server and use a ChromeBook to access it, giving the URL out to the audience
so that anyone who can't see the display in the room can use their personal
device of choice to follow along.

This is very encouraging as Google Slides is one of the few Google apps I have yet to do much with.  Not sure if this would be of interest to others on the list, but would love to talk to someone offline about ways to create Google Slide presentations.  I can do this with PowerPoint, but it never brings me joy and happiness to put it mildly. :)

Thanks,

Steve
