Google adds offline editing capabilities to Slides presentations | Digital Presentations in Education | Scoop.it

Google has added Slides, the latest version of its Docs presentation software, to its suite of offline applications, as it tries to play a spoiler role with the official releases of Microsoft Office 2013 and the home user version of Office 365 right around the corner.
