https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Hx5BYmurZbTl0BApRHPrupfjXIEJSyBs7DVstFUP50A/copy

Use the Add-on menu to automate that a new agenda slide is added daily. In this webinar we will discuss why you want a daily agenda slides and help you get it set up.

Doc to Slides Crash Course

EASILY take what is in a Google Doc and send it to Google Slides. Create a slide per student! Have students brain dump in Google Docs and then present their ideas in Google Slides. So many applications! FREE!

Basics of Google Slides

My tongue in cheek is DO NOT USE GOOGLE DOCS! Instead... use Google Slides! In this interactive webinar we will practice the basics of using Google Slides for teaching.

Push and Pull From Student Google Slides

Use http://alicekeeler.com/firstslide to pull in student responses to Google Slides, give feedback, and push the feedback back to their slides. First Slide is an add-on by Alice Keeler with premium features. We will look at how to use First Slide.

Form to Slides - Randomize

Use the Form to Slides Add-on docs.google.com/forms/d/1LKVLnT0KR9PQ8FYAkpKK1rjxEJB1f-x7x1znoBPlnmk/copy to collect student responses and have their responses automatically go to Google Slides. Now you can RANDOMIZE the student responses so you can give feedback in class to a few students as a class discussion. In other words, students submit a response. You want to use a few student examples in the class discussion. Use the randomize option to help you out!

Premium Cut Up Slides

We will be using https://alicekeeler.com/cutupslides This allows you to cut up a Google Slides presentation into sub presentations. Note: your original is undisturbed. For the premium feature you can specify what the sub slides are instead of creating a new one. I assigned each of my students a blank Google Slides in Google Classroom and imported the list of the slides and then pushed custom differentiated practice slides to each student. Come try it out with me!

Creating Collaborative Google Slides

All students in the SAME GOOGLE SLIDES! This is my 2nd favorite thing to do with students!! Let's try out what collaborative Google Slides means and talk about when to use them.

Doc to Slides Add-on

This is so easy!!! You are going to love using http://alicekeeler.com/doctoslides Paste your text into this Google Doc template and then send it to Google Slides. It's never been so fast to get your content into a Google Slides.

First Slide Intro

Opening individual Google Docs or Slides is slow. Speed up feedback to students by using http://alicekeeler.com/firstslide. In this webinar we will show how if you have a folder in Google Drive with student individual Google Slides how you can read the content on the slides all at once without having to open the slides. Send feedback to students right in the slides. (We will not cover in this webinar but you can also use First Slide to push new slides to student Google Slides.)

We've turned our history workbook into Google slides, and I need to be saved in the grading of these, because they are heinous.

Using the Google Slides timer

This is fun to make! Create a Google Slides using Alice Keeler Timer template that will automatically create a Google Slides for every second. You are prompted for how many minutes it should go for. Now edit the master slide or any slide to customize what the students see. Use this template: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1LSJKQpnQHno4KLAJ0yVW3N8-php6x14rjCNdyhhlgt4/copy

SEE ALL STUDENT WORK on a specific slide from their Google Slides all at once.

This add-on allows you to get a certain slide (or more than one) of the work of each student from Classroom into a presentation of your own, so that you can see how they are doing their homework, and insert feedback on their slide as well.

Webinar: Recommended add ons for google slides

Add-ons help you make your Google products even better! To be honest, all of the Google Slides Add-ons I use... I made! And usually they are Google Sheets Add-ons.

I will look through some Add-ons in the marketplace and share some with you that I think are relevant for teaching.

Webinar: Math and Google Slides

Show your work is obsolete. I TELL my students to install photomath... they laugh because they already have it, no kidding.

I have a process for having students show their THINKING in Google Slides.

Rule 1) Take a selfie

Rule 2) Brain dump, what do you see

Rule 3) Google Something

Rule 4) Show your collaboration

Rule 5) Include screenshots of tools you use

Rule 6) All tools you use you must include a live hyperlink

I will give some samples of what this looks like for math slides.
