Animation in Google Slides

When we think of animation, most of us think of cartoons. In Google Slides we can use animations to enhance student learning. "The Big Reveal," and sometimes the slow reveal, can provide a unique impact in presentations. Animations can be used to to make a big reveal, to create suspense, or to allow feedback and participation.
