🥇Tip #1: How To Make a Hyperlink-"CLICK HERE"

🖊️Highlight the Text by...

Double clicking on the word

Single click in the text and while holding down your mouse, drag your cursor over the letters you wish to highlight.

☑️Use Control K to open an option to link to a URL "HyperlinK ends in the Letter K"

🟨Paste with Control V the destination URL

🥈Tip #2: 3 Hidden Features of Google Slides

🖼️Google Slides has a built-in Explore feature that can help you find images, themes, and other design elements for your presentations.

🖱️Simply click on the Explore button in the bottom right corner of the screen.

🔑Then, type in a keyword related to what you’re looking for.

💥Then the Explore feature will then show you a range of options, including images, themes, and more.

🌟This opens a pop up where you can manage questions from your audience.
