    Going Chromebook Series

    By Brian Schell

    ()

    About this series

    In the first book, "Going Chromebook: Living in the Cloud," we looked at Chromebooks and the various software options available for them, and we decided whether or not the cloud lifestyle was for you. If you've gotten this far, then the answer was a confident "Yes!" 


    Now it's time to look into specific apps and how to use them. In this book, we look at Google's presentation system, Google Slides. Slides competes directly with Microsoft PowerPoint, and it is constantly being added to and improved month after month. If you need to do any lessons, presentations, slide shows, demonstrations, tutorials, or anything else where a sideshow is your tool of choice, then you need to at least consider Google Slides. 


    This book begins by introducing you to the differences between Google Slides and the competing online office suites. We'll also look into Google's free and paid tiers for Google Apps/G Suite/Workplace, and which one works out best for your needs.


    Next, there's a short review chapter on how to manipulate, delete, copy, and do various file operations within the Google Drive file manager.


    After that, we'll go through every single command and menu, every toolbar, and all the hidden options of Google Slides. This is the bulk of the material, and no stone (or menu) is left unturned. This includes animations, transitions, master slides, add-ons, embedding Google Docs and Sheets, and all the other special things Slides can do for you. 


    Lastly, for the things that Google Slides still just can't do natively, we will look at some of the very best third-party add-ons for Slides, allowing you to do all sorts of wild tasks. You already know the benefits of working in the cloud-- Now it's time to learn how to get the most out of it!


    Note: There is a section concerning keyboard commands which applies only to Chromebooks, but the majority of the content within the book applies to Windows, Mac, and most other computers as well. If you're considering switching to Slides, but don't have a Chromebook, you'll still find plenty here to interest you.

      Thinking about buying a Chromebook but not sure if Google's operating system will suit your needs? Just bought one and want to learn the ins and outs of how to use it? Have you been using ChromeOS, and want to take your usage to the next level and go Chromebook-only? This book begins by introducing you to the differences between regular computers and Chomebooks, explaining the different options and benefits involved with purchasing them, and then walks you through putting your data "in the cloud."  Great hardware is only as good as the software it runs, so we fully discuss the best apps from most categories, usually with several options to choose from.  The third section covers tips and tricks that are unique to the ChromeOS. We assume you know the basics of how to use the Chrome browser already, so we focus on the Files app and other aspects unique to ChromeOS. Lastly, we discuss installing and managing Android apps on Chromebooks. Not every device can run Android, but if you have a machine that is capable, Android adds a whole new dimension of power to a Chromebook. Can YOU "Go Chromebook" and live in the Cloud? Chances are excellent that you can!

If you've gotten this far, then the answer was a confident "Yes!"    Now it's time to look into specific apps and how to use them.   First up is Google's own word processing system, Google Docs. It was Google's first and most well-known cloud app. It's also the most mature and, arguably, the most powerful. If you need to do any writing, whether a simple shopping list or a full-length book, Google Docs is the tool to use.    This book begins by introducing you to the differences between Google Docs and the competing online office suites. We'll also look into Google's free and paid tiers for Google Docs/G Suite, and which one works out best for your needs.   Next, there's a short review chapter on how to manipulate, delete, copy, and do various file operations within the Google Drive file manager.   After that, we'll go through every single command and menu, every toolbar, and all the hidden options. This is the bulk of the material, and no stone (or menu) is left unturned. This includes voice transcription, translation, citations and footnotes, embedding Google Sheets and Slides, and all the other special things Docs can do for you.    Lastly, for the things that Google Docs still just can't do, we will look at some of the very best third-party add-ons for Docs, allowing you to do all sorts of wild tasks.  You already know the benefits of working in the cloud-- Now it's time to learn how to get the most out of it!
