Take Away #6 on Google Summit for Education by AppsEvents: Inserting Images Straight from Google Slides and Inserting a Link to Image Source

As I have mentioned in previous "take aways", Google Docs, Slides, Drawings and Sheets now lets you search and insert an image straight from the app.  This feature works best for students as the images they select have already been preselected and approved by sources like Creative Commons, Wikipedia, etc. Once you have selected an image you wish to insert, the link of its source is visible at the left hand corner and if you right click on it, you may copy and paste on the image to link its' source.  I learned all these cool tricks from the workshop given by +Sean Thompson. Let's get started.


Go to Insert and click on Image.




Search for an image and make your selection. Note the link to source of image comes out on the left bottom corner.




Right click on your mouse and copy link address, the source of image.  Click on the blue button, to Select and insert image to your slide.




After inserting image, go to Insert and click on Link.



Paste link here and click on the blue button, Apply.



Here's the cited source of your image.  When clicked, it will take you to the website where the image was taken from.
