Fruit Presentation This one is using Google Presentations











This one is using Open Office!!!

This one is using Microsoft Powerpoint!!!

Using the slideshow format includes text boxes, a variety of fonts, colors, templates, etc. The slideshow format also allows for the use of video, pictures, and hyperlinks. Some differences are that Google is a web based program, meaning you can access it anywhere and your information is stored on their web server. Open Office needs to be installed on your computer and can only be accessed on the computers you have it loaded on. Google is on the Internet and therefore anyone can access it and can view your presentation. In order to view your Open Office document, Open Office must be installed on the computer. Google has less template choices, but it is much easier to use for importing graphics and video.
