PRESENTATIONS
Using shapes, animations and image manipulation, Slides allows you to create a moving Comic Strip. See this example from Eric Curts to make more sense.
COLLABORATION
Slides provides the means to give feedback during the editing stage, as well as critique of ideas and information.
Iron Chef lessons allow students to form different groups and take on different roles
INTERACTION
Using hyperlinks, you are easily able to make a Choose Your Own Adventure story.
Another interactive creation is a game. An example is Eric Curts template for Jeopardy.

Whether it be a newsletter or an eBook, Slides offers the means to easily publish to the world.
