Google Slides: Trim Videos


Guest post by Zach Johnson, Instructional Technology Team, MS Rep. 

Do you have a YouTube video to share with students but don’t want to show the entire clip? Google Slides offers a tool that trims embedded YouTube videos. This allows you to automatically start and stop videos in the middle of a clip. You could easily use this tool to add shortened video clips to your notes. I use this tool to create self-paced video assignments by taking a longer video and trimming it into small, manageable chunks for students. Each slide contains the same video but with different sections highlighted. This allows students to focus on a small section instead of watching the whole video. This feature is easy enough to use that secondary and even some older elementary students could use it for class presentations. Watch this video tutorial for a demonstration.
