Google Presentation
  How to create a Google account and use Google Docs

1. Get a Google Account (google “Google Account”). Use the same user name and password you use to log on to the school server.

2. After you apply, Google will send you an email. Click the link in that email to activate your account.

3. Go to your Google Account and find “Google Docs.”

4. In Google Docs, click “New” then select “Presentation.”

5. When your new presentation open, in the upper right click “Share” then “Share with Others” then enter your partner’s email and click the “invite collaborators” button. (Be sure you are sharing as a “collaborator” and not just as a “viewer” or your partner will not be able to edit the presentation).

6. Go back to the “Share” button in the upper right corner and click it, but now choose “Publish ‘ Embed.” This will publish your presentation on the Internet, so anyone can view it. When it is your turn to present to the class, you will use my computer to go the address of your presentation. You won’t need to log on to your Google Account because the presentation is published on the Internet where anyone can see it.

7. Now, copy the URL of your presentation (from the navigation window at the top of the page in Internet Explorer, then paste it in an email addressed to my school email address: mumphrey “at” polson.k12.mt.us

8. In the subject line of the email put ONLY THIS: “YourName” Presentation

If you cannot create a Google Account or you are absent on the day you are called on to give a presentation, to get credit for this assignment you will need to turn in a two-page report, with citations, within 2 days.
