Add Music to your Google Slides
This is a feature requested by many Google Users. While it is still not currently built into Google Slides, there is now an Add-On that will accomplish this task for you.
Watch the video below from Free Tech for Teachers website to learn how to use this.
As mentioned in the video, the music must first be added to your Google Drive. Check out this site to learn about several sites where you can legally download music for free.
Safari Montage Upgrade
We have a new version of Safari Montage that will now allow your students to access the system as well as teachers. They will navigate to Safari Montage from their school Gateway page just like you do. When they are confronted with the Login screen, they MUST select the Sign-in with Google button. From there they simply sign in with their Google Account.
As the teacher, you also now have the ability to push out a video to students using the Google Classroom button found on videos in Safari Montage.
Please see the video below for more features and highlights.
