Hello and welcome to Argos' Top Toys Reveal 2016. I'm here on this exclusive red carpet to introduce to you some very special nominees who we're predicting are going to be topping the Christmas lists this year. So are you ready to come and meet the Top Toys of 2016? Okay so if you just come through here, excuse me, the first toy to make the short list on the nominations is this. It's the Lego City Volcano. And this year you can do some serious scientific work and you've also got explorers uncovering new information. But of course it's a volcano so I tell you what, you take your chances because at any moment this could erupt. And now steaming ahead of its rivals is this. This is the VTech Toot Toot Driver's Gold Mine train set and it comes with its own drop shoot and mine. Now it's got a motorized engine but did you know it can also climb slopes all by itself? Now that's what I call a truly standout performance. And now everyone is desperate to know which toy has made the list next and here she is. It is Tiffany, fashion icon and everyone's favorite design of friend. The Tiffany doll is from the Chad Valley Range which you can only buy at Argos. She comes with her very own catwalk and she's wearing this exquisite ball gown and diamond earrings. And rumor has it that she's actually got a second outfit to change into later. It's a girl after my own heart. Top Toys 2016 wouldn't be complete without something for our tech fans and this is Code a Pillar. Now you can program him specially to move through obstacles and also to play music and sound effects. This toy is so cool it is guaranteed to inspire a whole new generation of super coders. Meet Zuma Chimp. Zuma Chimp is a really clever guy. He can understand voice commands, he's got very lifelike movements and he's got over a hundred tricks up his sleeve as well and he's a a little bit crazy. And next up it's everyone's favorite pup rescuers for poor patrol, Air Patroller. And of course our little robo dog pilot down there. He comes with his own jet which comes with lights and sound effects making you ready for any adventure you might have in mind. So what's next on the top toys list? Oh what have we here come over here.  This is the tiny treasures doll and actually Ruma has it although I'm not quite close enough to tell.  Oh yes now for anyone who doesn't know what this is have you been living under a rock? This is the Nerf Modulus Tri-Strike. It's the brand new Nerf blaster from Hasbro and it comes with three blast settings. So you can fire elite darts one at a time or you can use the slam fire action or you can build a two-piece missile launcher. Is this going to be the most played with toy for 2016? Let me introduce you to somebody very special. It's a gorgeous little pooch. This is Snuggles my dream puppy and he's so gorgeous. He's got lovely soft fur.  This one is going to be a big hit with the paparazzi. Okay it's time to meet everyone's favorite droid. It's BB-8. Can you hear his expressive droid sounds? This one is going to be spreading Star Wars magic across the country on Christmas morning and now something we've all been waiting for and making its debut to the red carpet. It is the selfie mic. This is brand new and it features a selfie stick, a karaoke mic, an earpiece and a music app. So you can create your very own music videos, Taylor Swift style, no camera crew required. So maybe this time next year you could be making your appearance on the red carpet. So that's it. That is our absolutely spectacular lineup of top toys 2016.


Hey, guys. Mr. Ballinger here, working in a collaboration with the Deirdre's Channel for Oricanni Schools. Today, we will be exploring Google Slides and three features within Google Slides that can make getting started much easier and efficient. Traditionally, Google Slides has been used as a lecturing tool similar to PowerPoint. But as Google Slides features and options have expanded in recent years, so have Slides uses within the classroom. Assuming that you know where to access and how to open Google Slides from the Google Option icon at the top-ranking corner of your account, let's talk about where to begin when first loading your new slide deck. Go ahead and hit the plus arrow and click Create New Presentation. Once opening your slide deck, you will notice it resembles a blank canvas. The first thing suggested is to pick a theme from your slide deck. On the right-hand panel here, you will see a variety of different themes available to use. As I scroll through the different options available, I want to focus on picking a theme that fits the purpose of this slide deck. For this particular presentation, I am looking for something that's based around technology. And I don't feel as though any of the themes pre-loaded in Google Slides matches that topic. To solve this, go to your Google Search bar and search Free Google Slides. And you can very easily grab free slide templates from sites like Slides Go and Slides Carnival and so many more. After downloading, the one I wanted to click, I will click Import Theme, Upload. And I will select a file from my device. Now I'm going to type in the title of the theme that I would like. And I'm going to hit Upload. After it is uploaded, it will take just a few seconds to load in. Then I will double-click. And I will add this theme to my slide deck. Now that our theme is loaded in, let's talk about the structure of the slide deck. Under the layout icon on our toolbar, we can quickly look through the different types of slide layouts that will be available to us. So for example, if I wanted to showcase a picture, or an image, I might grab the caption icon and add the caption at the bottom. If I wanted to transition to another slide, maybe another heading, I have the title option. If I wanted some columns, I have down here. Really, these slides are just kind of another way that you can organize your information. For now, we're going to choose the title icon. And I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to title it Inserting. Under the Insert icon, there are a variety of options and elements that we can add to our slides.  So for example, if I wanted to insert a video from YouTube onto the slide, I could simply click Video and I could either search it on YouTube, upload it through Google Drive, or my personal favorite is just copy and pasting the URL into the YouTube link available. YouTube will search for the video and you just click it, hit Select, and your video will be uploaded. As easy as this was, the same concept applies for inserting a picture. You can either upload it from your computer, drive, photos, URL, or break camera. So again, that is how you use Google Slides to help transform both your lectures as well as the work that your students can be doing both in class and at home. Thanks for watching.
