Week 3 Blog

Although the presentation did not have pictures, I did not feel that they were necessary.  I was able to experience changing transmission oil for the first time when we worked on Callams truck in a previous class together.  If I did not experience this before, I feel that I would have trouble following the slide show without pictures especially because every vehicle is different.  

The speaker notes are incredibly helpful because they go more into depth from what is displayed on the slides.  The are very elaborative and help with any confusion a user may have.  

Aesthetically, I feel that although the colours are soft and easy to read, I feel that they can become difficult to read from a distance which would cause a viewer to lose their interest, contrary to what Sheldon believes.  I feel that the minimalistic effects are disengaging.

The most important points, however, are noted and for a user whom is changing their oil can quickly refer back to the slide quickly and efficiently whilst noting potential safety hazards.

I feel that Google Slides can be used effectively in a classroom when done properly.  Personally, I would use them during a math class when teaching Pythagorean's Theorem, while on a SMARTBoard.  When doing this, I am still able to write on the board with the coloured pens to work out examples.
