Creating a magazine using Google Slides? Impossible? Absolutely not! Not only is it possible, but you and your students can create a very slick looking magazines that resemble publications such as TIme or National Geographic by using the provided templates on this page.

For this badge, the presentation MUST be created in Google Slides. Power Point presentations that have been uploaded to Google will NOT be accepted.

These templates are courtesy of Ryan O'Donnell, who has created some amazing templates using Google tools!!!

These magazine templates are very ideally suited for collaborative projects among your students. Keep in mind that even though you're working from a template, the individual slides can be copied to make the publication longer allowing for additional articles to be written and videos to be included.

Check out The New Yorker template below created by RMS's Darby Smith Bozeman!
