This is how we prepared our presentation about the trees we will observe in Lesaka: The teacher created an example of a presentation about a tree species using Google Slides. A copy of that presentation was shared via Google Classroom with each student, so they could use it as a template to create their own presentation. The students were asked to search for copyright free images in Photos for Class or using the built-in search function in Google Slides. When all presentations were finished, the teacher compiled them in this presentation.
