google slides has many integral features
but you may find that you need something
particular that is not built in
slides add-ons are specific tools made
by third parties
this means that they are not created by
google itself
people install them to have extra
features within their google slides
presentations
to get started let's go to add-ons on
the toolbar
then get add-ons
i'm going to take a look at pair deck
for google slides
when looking at add-ons it is important
to check if it has a good rating
substantial number of users and is
compatible with the google app that you
want to use
you should use your best judgment in
order to see if you can trust it to
access various aspects of your google
account
by reading the overview you can note how
useful it would be as the tool that you
need
this one is for teachers to engage their
students while they use any internet
connected device
to get the add-on click install this
dialog box will ask you if you want to
begin the installation process
by clicking continue you are agreeing
that you understand the terms of use of
the add-on
next you'll select the google account
that you want to use with it
you may be wondering what the add-on
will access in regards to your google
account
most of them will have this type of
dialog box to let you know
oftentimes add-ons will have access to
all of your documents
click allow if you still trust it after
taking the time to inform yourself
google slides shows you where to find it
on the toolbar
click done then close out of it
most add-ons show up as panels on the
right side of the screen
also they may have features that are
only available with premium
subscriptions
that you can sign up for through
creating an account with the add-on
for paradak the features that have a
gold star are premium features
to use these starred features you'll
need to pay for subscription as an
individual
or see if your school has a paid
subscription what's unique about paradec
is that it has a template library for
educators to build their class
presentations
here it has categorized slide templates
i'm going to click on beginning of
lesson
i want a text slide that tells students
what they need for materials and has
them answer a question about their
homework
i like the first one it may take a few
seconds for the template to show up
you can edit the slide to include
information that you need
in order to start or present with this
particular one you will have to create
an account
many add-ons may redirect you to their
website and require that you make an
account in order to use it
it is up to you to decide what type of
subscription that you want
to remove it from your google account
click add-ons
then manage add-ons you can uninstall it
by clicking on the three dots and
selecting uninstall
there are many to choose from but is up
to you to determine if you trust the
add-on and if you find its features
beneficial
