Choose Your Own Adventure

When students create their own Google Slides to demonstrate their learning, they are taking ownership over what they know and can do.  Allowing students to share some creativity will also enhance their connection to the content.  One way to do this is by having them create a Choose Your Own Adventure story in Google Slides.

When you create and share Google Slides, you can link certain slides to another slide.  That makes it possible to create a slideshow that will jump around in a specific order of your choosing.  See the example below.

When you are on a certain slide, that URL is unique and will link to that slide. Many students and teachers have used this to make interactive stories in Google slides based on other topics they have studied. See the examples below from around the web.
