  1. Is there a way I can download and edit documents? I also notice that a lot of the content is in PowerPoint format, any way I can covert it to Google Slides?

    1. Hi Sara,

      All of the documents attached on each lesson page are available to download and then edit as you wish. Currently, all of the resources are in Microsoft format, but we are currently in the process of deciding whether to make resources available in Google format too. In the meantime, you would have to upload the resources to your own Google Drive and they will automatically open in Google slides/docs etc.

    1. Sara, Google will actually allow you to open PowerPoints into Google Slide format. There might be some font and format issues, but it’s usually pretty smooth, so you don’t have to recreate every slide show from scratch!
