Tech Tip: Add a Timer to a Google Slide

Tired of trying to position your class timer so it doesn't block your Slides instructions?
Looking for an easy tool for Kagan Strategies?

Use this Google Slides / YouTube hack to insert a timer that will play in your slide while it is in “Present” mode.

Use Insert >> Video, then search for a YouTube video of the length you need the timer to be. 

You can then resize, move, and copy/paste this video onto any slide.  You can also choose "Video Options" and determine if you want the video to auto-play on the Slide. (If you don't select this, you can click the video to start the timer while in Present mode).

Click Present and you've got a built-in timer!


Happy Timekeeping!
