Should I Use Google Slides?
Should I use slides?
Slides can be helpful for the audience, but they are by no means necessary or relevant to every talk. Ask yourself: Would my slides help and clarify information for the audience, or would they distract and confuse them?
The most important rule for slides: Keep it simple. You can make great simple slides if you stick to photographic images, running edge-to-edge. If your slide ideas are more complex and involve type, consider the balance of text-to-images and color contrast between backgrounds, images, and text.

What goes in my slides?
Images and photos -- help the audience visualize a person, place or thing you mention.
Graphs and infographics -- Keep graphs visually clear, even if the content is complex.
Use as little text as possible -- if your audience is reading, they are not listening.
