  1. Hi!, Love all your videos, they are extremely helpful! I teach 2nd grade and need to know if it is ok to just use slides for all my work, assignments, etc. and anything I post. I am a beginner and need to keep it simple for myself and my students. Is there something I am missing by not using docs, or forms? Thank you.
