The tool that I chose to use was Google Slides. This is a great way to make presentations and make group presentations with others, without having to figure out different schedules for each person as often. You can meet once a week and still be involved and informed with what it being done. As a future teacher I can use this tool to share the presentations that I make with students' parents to include and inform them as to what their student is learning. This would also be a good tool to use with the students because at the end of the slides, there are assessment that the children can use to see how well they understand the content.  

Pros of this tool are that you can easily share your presentations with others. You can also collaborate with others and work together without being together in person.

Cons of this tool is that it takes some getting used to, you have to play around with it, to understand how to use it.

I can use this tool to show my students presentations that I have made and they are accessible anywhere I go.

My students can utilize this tool by using it for themselves if there is a group presentation or if they want to make a presentation themselves, they can present them anywhere that they have internet access. They could also have access to the presentations that I make if they needed to through any email available. They can also use this particular presentation to assess how well the students have grasped the content.
