Prepping your Slideshow (20 seconds per slide)
Once you create your presentation in Google Slides, you will need to PUBLISH IT TO THE WEB and set the auto advance timer to 20 seconds.
- On the home page of your slide show, click "file"
- on the drop down menu, click "publish to the web"
- On the pop up, click "start slideshow as soon as the player loads" (don't worry about the timer yet....)
- copy and paste the shareable link into another place (i put it in my blog as an unedited post)
- The last part of the link should be a number (the default is 3000, meaning 3 seconds). Change that to "20000", meaning 20 seconds
Remember to practice with your slideshow set to 20 seconds per slide.

If you want to make your blog private
OPTIONAL: If you want change your blog to private...

If you want to make your blog private, so that only we (in this class) can read it, then you have to invite us to be readers of your blog and we each have to accept your invitation. To do so you will need all of our email addresses so that you can invite each of us.
