- Start a new Google Slide
- Change your Lay out to blank
- Search in Google for a background image
- Make sure to select Tools and Color is transparent
- Save to your computer
- Go back to your Google Slide and choose background and the image
- Now insert images that you would like to - in my example I just used text
- When you have your first slide ready to go - make sure to duplicate it by right clicking on the slide itself (right side)
- Once duplicated make sure to then change what you would like ever so slightly and then repeat the duplication process
- In the example of the water cycle I created I used 57 slides
- When completed you can now publish it (or create a GIF - see below)
- To publish make sure to select File > Publish to the Web
- Auto-Advance Slides to every 1 second
- Check to start slideshow as the player loads as well as restart the slideshow after the last slide
- Select Publish
- Grab the shareable link and alter the last part of the link from 1000 to something around 100
- Share away!!!!
GIF Directions
- To create a GIF out of the slides open the website Talltweets
- Make sure to link your Google Account and choose your presentation (can take a bit of time)
- Choose 1200 for Width and 0.1 for Slide Duration
- Select Create GIF (does take some time - be patient)
- Once created, I right clicked on the GIF and saved to my desktop
Embedded below is a 2 minute and 54 second YouTube tutorial walking you through the steps.
Take care,
Brad
