Remote for Slides is a cool tool that lets you control your Google Slides remotely. I’ve been experimenting with this tool for a while now and found it worth mentioning in educational technology and mobile learning. In addition to controlling your slides remotely, Remote for Slides lets you access your speaker notes, time your presentation, and even control YouTube playback. It also comes in dark mode and black mode.
