Course Description

Imagine having slides so engaging that people ask you for copies simply because they admire the design.

Your slides can make or break your presentation.

If you're like most people giving a presentation can be frightening--  It's not just the public speaking, but you have to provide slides to go along with your talk. 

Well-designed slides help you get your point across, make your presentation more engaging and provide a great memory aide when you're on stage (or on Zoom!). Poorly-designed slides? Well, I think you know!

I would consider myself advanced- intermediate in Google Slides but this course provided me some new tips. VERY thorough with bite-size sections. I highly recommend this for a burgeoning professional who has not tapped into all of the aspects of presentation design and Google Slides as a tool.

By Eyvette Thompson on 2/3/2022

Being a legacy Microsoft user, I was not aware of how great the Google Suite is until I started this course. It has a lot of similarities, but it seems to be a bit easier to operate. I appreciate the instructor taking the time to provide the minor details, along with the tips to use to make each session easy to manage. Great course!

By Edmund Ewell on 1/23/2022

This a great course put together with thought and ease of use at top of mind. Mark does a great job breaking things down step by step, ensuring he covers best practices, including what not to do. The pace of the course is great and total duration is just right. Thanks Mark!

By Edward Bucaro on 1/15/2022

This course was right on the mark! The presentation was delivered with a great pace, progression and words were enunciated very well where I wasn't trying to figure out what had just been said. It was very smooth and easy to follow. The suggestions on the typography and images were extremely helpful.

By Bob Sutton on 1/14/2022

I've used Microsoft Power Point for many years, and the ease of use provided by Google Slides is incredible. Following along with the instructor (it's a very good pace) I am able to listen, stop and create my version on a 2nd screen. If I have a question, just go back to that point where the topic was taught, review it again and complete my version. Couldn't easier and with a quick and through presentation, I am learning at a very rapid pace. Thank you Mark!

By Dave Shaul on 1/14/2022

Another great course from Mark. Covering the basics through to some advanced features the course is well paced with exercises at the end of some sections. Having used Powerpoint in the past I was interested to see how Google Slides compared and after completing the course and exercises I can say that while not as feature rich as Powerpoint, Slides is a worthy competitor. Slides has everything you need to make a good presentation and this course shows you exactly how to do it.

I opened my Samsung Tab S7 Plus to follow along with your steps. The menus are completely different on a tablet, so I was not able to insert a video link with a preview. It looks as though you are on a Windows pc for the course work.

By Danny Sulkin on 1/13/2022

Excellent program on Google slides. Great not only for first time users, but for those with experience in PowerPoint. The two are similar but this course demonstrates how to do everything you are familiar with from PowerPoint in Google Slides.

By Wojciech Kostecki on 1/13/2022

Mark's course is a sure thing! The course is, as usual, well thought out and technically perfect. It's worth going through it, even if you have some Power Point experience. You can learn about team working, developing a presentation so that it reaches the addressee, preparing slides so that they are not boring (!). Apart from the lectures, there are also proposals of individual exercises. I recommend it with conviction! :)

By Carl Storms on 1/10/2022

I'm a PowerPoint User, but have recently moved to a company with uses Google Slides, so I was looking for a quick set of lessons to get me up and running. I've done classes with Mark before so I figured this would be a good one as Mark is great with how to teaches. I was not disappointed, another great class from Mark! Also be sure to stick around for Section 8: Presentation Design -- Looking Like a Pro. There are some gold nuggets here for sure!
