Google Slides

How do I upload a Google Slides presentation?  I have tried 2 different ways and I still have students that are not receiving the presentation.  Thanks

 @chris_gordon , are you wanting to put the link to the presentation in Canvas, embed the presentation on a Page in Canvas, or something else?

This doesn't work in Announcements with the Insert...Embed option. I get Google 404 error "The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know."

With Google Slides, you don't actually upload (unlike Powerpoint). Like Kona mentioned, you can embed the presentations in a Canvas Page or inside a Discussion prompt -- anywhere you see the Rich Text Editor.

When I am looking at my Google Slides in editing mode, from the File menu, I choose Publish to the Web.

Then I choose Embed, and I'm going to opt for a custom size: 600 pixels wide.

Then I copy that scary-looking huge chunk of HTML code in the box, 

I go to Canvas and create a new Page,

I type some text, then I position my cursor where I want the slide show,

and I click on the insert/embed media button,

pasting in the code I copied.

It works: this is an open course so you can click and see the Page here with an embedded slideshow:

You can also share by link instead of embedding, but embedding sure is convenient! Then, any changes you make aer automatically reflected there, and anywhere that you have embedded the slideshow.

This was SO helpful!! Thank you! 

Now, how can kids write/type on the Google Slide Show once it's posted in Canvas??

Is this possible to do as a student in a discussion post? I tried following the above instructions but there is no "insert/embed button." I tried to use the Extenal Link feature but the link cannot be accessed once it is posted. Suggestions?
