Drag and Drop Key Points

Remember, the drag and drop function is different on an iPad than a computer, so keep these things in mind:

  1. Use one finger to lightly tap the object you’d like to move.
  2. Once the black bar appears underneath the object, you can touch, hold and “drag”/slide the object to where you want it. Avoid touching the blue square around the object since this will resize the object.
  3. Release/lift your finger to “drop” the object in place.
  4. If you make a mistake (e.g., resize the object), press the “Undo” button (the left-hand arrow) at the top of your screen.

I hope this helps you and your students with how to drag and drop in Google Slides.
