Remote for Slides is a cool tool that allows you to control your Google Slides remotely. I have been experimenting with this tool for some time now and found it worth the mention in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning. Besides controlling your slides remotely, Remote for Slides allows you to access your speaker notes, time your presentation, and even control YouTube playback. It also  comes in dark mode and black mode.
