Note: Please feel free to use clipart off the web.
- Divide up into teams of 3-5 persons
- Use this Google Slides template.
- Have ONE person (Team Leader) make a copy then share the document with everyone in the group so you are ALL working on the same Google Slides slide deck.
- Have each person choose a slide they are going to work on. Be careful with applying changes to ALL slides. Restrain yourself to just YOUR slide.
- Working together, come up with six paper slides with a title page and represent you each of you professionally
- Feel free to use any images/pictures or clip art you feel best represents you; an emoji slide you can duplicate has been setup for you to duplicate.
- When everyone has enhanced their slide, and you are happy with the title slideshow, the Team Leader will use the Slide2Drive tool to create pictures of the Slides.
- Save the pictures to your computer.
- Combine the pictures in the Gifmaker.me website to create an animated GIF (adjust the speed, size as you desire)
- Save your Gifmaker.me creation to your computer
