Google Slides is a web-based digital presentation program part of the Google Workspace suite. It lets users create, edit, and share visual slide presentations online. Multiple people can work together on the same file at the same time in real time.
Approved for Student Use K-12
Interactive Digital Storybooks & Comics: Using slide layouts like panel templates, students combine short text prompts, illustrations, and audio voiceovers to create self-contained digital books.
Newspaper Profiles: Students research a historical figure, scientist, or literary character and design a mock newspaper front page on a slide to demonstrate point of view and contextual understanding.
Student-Created Video Shows / Screencasts: Students use recorded video commentary or audio narrations and insert them directly onto each slide, turn auto-play on, and publish the deck as a self-running video overview of a research project.
Interactive Flashcard Decks: Students design self-study tools where the main slide displays a question or vocabulary term, and clicking a shape reveals the definition or answer on a linked slide.
Collaborative Class Knowledge Base: Collaborate with fellow students (one slide per person) in a shared class presentation (e.g., "Slide 4 is Maya's topic, Slide 5 is Leo's topic").
Digital Learning Portfolios: Students maintain a deck throughout a semester, adding a slide per week with artifacts, photos of physical work, link reflections, and self-assessments to track growth over time.
