I was elated when I discovered the Q & A section in the Google Slides a few weeks ago. My first thought was, 'What's the big deal? Just let the kids raise their hands and ask already!" Then I got to thinking. Some of our students, if they can't ask RIGHT THEN, they listen to nothing else. Using the Q & A option of the slide presentation, students can pose their question RIGHT THEN, and you, as the presenter have the option to decide when discussion can take place.
It might be wise to have some guidelines in place for your students when using the presentation as a teaching tool. Encourage the students to ask some very deep questions, or perhaps you could use the Q & A section to have the students post some "aha" moments. These could also be a spring board for some meaningful discussion.
Using the Q & A session is super easy. View the video below to get a general idea of how to start using it. Happy presenting!
