About Google Slides
Slides is a presentation "slide deck" program from Google.
- Slides is similar to Microsoft Powerpoint, but even easier to use.
- Presentations are easy to edit, add text or photos, and rearrange. You can even add notes to remind you want you wanted to say on each slide.
- Slides provided for Reliant via the Google for Nonprofits program. It's the same as the publically available version, but data and your account is secured with the Reliant Technology Services department.
- Your files are stored "in the cloud" and are accessible via Google Slides or Google Drive when you are signed in with your Reliant address. They are not publicly available unless you share them publicly.
- Slides works in a web browser or mobile app, so it can be used on almost all modern computers and devices. Google Chrome is recommended.
- Slides can be exported to create a beautiful hardcover bound photo book.

The template slides are already arranged in a specific order. Because the "presentation flow" is so important, we recommend not deleting or rearranging many slides until you have practiced a presentation several times through. This will you save you time and energy later. As you grow to learn your presentation, MTD Coaches will point out the perfect places to customize or rearrange to fit your story. |

Editing The Template
Some slides are set up with fully editable parts, so text and images can be modified or completely removed. Other slides, such as the About Reliant slide, is a fixed image and is not editable.
