ALT The image is a colorful, illustrated cover for “Hyperlink Slides Choice Board” by Alice Keeler. At the top, the title “CHOICE BOARD” is written in bold black letters, with a yellow icon of a chain link in the center. To the left, there’s a stack of books and a pen, and to the right, a cartoon character of a smiling person holding a pencil and pointing upward with a lit lightbulb above their finger, suggesting an idea. At the bottom left, the Google Slides logo appears with the text “works with Google Slides.”
