When you are presenting or teaching to a group with the help of Google Slides, it is always best to allow a time and place in your presentation for some interactivity. Most of the time, people leave the presentation and go to an external website (or even their phones) to start a countdown timer while this interactivity takes place. To make the presentation more seamless, it’s much easier to just embed a countdown timer directly into your slides by using Youtube. On the slide with the instructions for the group discussion or activity, just go to Insert >Video and search YouTube for “__ minute timer.” There are lots of timers on YouTube for just about every time interval that you might need. This would also be a great way to manage stations in your classroom, with instructions on the same slide as the timer. I hope this helps with engagement and classroom management!
