Shapegrams

Here is the alt text for the image: An poster from Shapegrams titled "Nudge with Arrow Keys." The text provides two keyboard tips. First: "With an object selected, use the arrow keys on your keyboard to nudge it up, down, left or right," illustrated by icons of the four arrow keys. Second, inside a blue box: "To make larger moves, hold down Shift and press an arrow key," illustrated by icons of the Shift key and the arrow keys.

Using the arrow keys on your keyboard is KEY to perfect positioning in Google Slides.

A WITCH is best at WHICH subject? Spelling, of course!

This pair of homophone Zippers invites learners to recreate illustrations, and in the process, it might help with their spelling (but that might be WITCHful thinking). #EduSky #Education

An infographic titled "Group Shapes" with three steps showing how to group multiple shapes in a design application. Step 1: Select multiple shapes (holding Shift or dragging the mouse). Step 2: Click the Arrange menu and choose Group. Step 3: A list of actions that can be done with the grouped shapes, like Move, Resize, and Rotate.

Grouping shapes can be super helpful. When you click one shape in a group, they are all selected. Then you can move and format them at the same time. #EduSky #EdTech #GoogleSlides
