What I learned in class

Since we have been working on slides I have learned a few new things. For example, I didn't know how to animate individual objects, but now I do. Also I learned how to put a picture as the background and how to apply the same background to all the slides which was a helpful feature for my last slideshow. It was kind of frustrating though because on Google slides you can't put a video unless it's from YouTube which I think is kind of dumb. They do have a helpful feature though which allows you to get pictures from your drive. I used that to easily transfer pictures from my phone onto my slideshow. All in all, I learned a few interesting things that were new to me about slides.

Word Processors

A few big differences I saw consistently within the slideshow presentations between docs and word are:

-Docs is free where as word cost over $100
-Docs is internet based where as word saves to your hard drive
-They both have multiple features (spreadsheets, etc)
-Docs can be hacked easier because they are internet based where as word is on a hard drive
